About this map

The Yellow Medicine River meanders sharply across this agricultural landscape, carving a winding path through the prairie of Yellow Medicine County. To the north, Spring Creek feeds into this drainage system, while the southern edge of the quadrangle is anchored by the waters of Lone Tree Lake. The region is defined by a rigorous section-line grid of rural roads, including County Line Rd and several major local arteries like County Hwy-3 and County Hwy-43. This network of roads serves the scattered farmsteads that have long characterized the local economy. For those tracing family history in the area, the West Cemetery serves as a significant landmark situated just north of 200th Ave, providing a concrete link to the generations who settled this part of Minnesota.
