About this map

The agricultural landscape of Sibley County is defined by a grid of rural routes and vital water management systems, including the Middle Br Rush River and County Ditch Number Thirteen. This portion of the Minnesota prairie reveals a settlement pattern anchored by small community landmarks, such as Tabor Cem and Saint John's Cem, which serve as quiet touchpoints for local family history. The terrain is characterized by subtle elevation changes and numerous depressions, with the southern edge of the quadrangle reaching toward the shoreline of Sand Lake. The extensive network of township roads, including Co HWY 10 and 270th ST, illustrates the enduring structure of the Public Land Survey System that has organized this region since the mid-19th century.
