2013 Map of Wood Lake NW

About this map

The Yellow Medicine River winds through this agricultural landscape, forming a complex drainage network alongside Spring Cr and several managed watercourses like Br R County Ditch Number 9. This 2013 survey illustrates the highly structured rural grid of southwestern Minnesota, where a series of numbered avenues, including 240th Ave down to 170th Ave, organize the prairie. The boundary between Yellow Medicine Co and Lyon Co runs along the southern edge of the map, just north of Lone Tree Lake. A small burial site, identified simply as W Cem, serves as a localized landmark within the vast network of farm fields. Modern infrastructure is represented by the diagonal route of MN-23 cutting across the southeastern corner, providing a contrast to the rigid sectional lines that define the rest of the quadrangle.
