Jeffers

The landscape around Jeffers is a gently rolling farming prairie on the Coteau des Prairies, which has shaped both the town’s compact layout and its agriculture-based economy. This small community sits in Cottonwood County in southwestern Minnesota, along U.S. Route 71, amid fields that define much of the surrounding region. Just north of town, the Jeffers Petroglyphs Historic Site preserves thousands of carvings made in exposed Sioux quartzite by Indigenous people over many centuries. Animal forms, human figures and geometric marks make the outcrop an important record of Native American presence on the prairie.
