About this map

Worthington occupies the southern edge of this landscape, where the northern suburbs give way to the expansive agricultural grid of Nobles County. The terrain is defined by the Coteau des Prairies, a high glacial plateau that shapes the local hydrology, including the headwaters of Elk Cr and Okabena Cr. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern layout of the city's infrastructure, notably the Worthington Municipal Airport and the recreational grounds of the Worthington Speedway and the Nobles County Fairgrounds.

Local history and community heritage are preserved at Pioneer Village, located near the intersection of major thoroughfares. The map detail reflects the area's transition from an urban center into a strictly ordered rural landscape, divided by section-line roads such as Read Ave and 210th St. Water management is evident in named drainage features like Whisky Ditch, which support the intensive farming characteristic of the region.
