The glacial prairie of southwestern Minnesota defines the setting of Cobden — cultivated fields, shelterbelts and a low, open horizon shape daily life in this small Brown County community. Cobden stands in a farming district between Sleepy Eye and Springfield, where grain and livestock production have long influenced the pattern of roads, homesteads and local settlements.
