About this map

The city of Winthrop sits on the eastern edge of this Sibley County landscape, where the flat agricultural plains of southern Minnesota are carved by the Middle Br Rush River. This survey captures the rural character of the region, defined by a dense grid of township and county roads that navigate the numerous small wetlands and drainage basins common to the area. Significant water management is evident through the presence of the County Ditch Number Thirteen, which channels water through the southern sections of the quadrangle to support local farming.

For those researching local history or genealogy, several landmarks provide fixed points of reference within the rural sections. These include the Saint John's Cem and Tabor Cem, both situated near the intersection of early farm-to-market routes like Co Hwy 10 and Co Rd 53. The map preserves the exact boundaries of townships T112N and T113N, illustrating the enduring Public Land Survey System layout that has shaped the county's settlement patterns for generations.
