Pipestone County, Minnesota

Pipestone Location Map Minnesota

Pipestone County sits in the southwestern corner of Minnesota, right up against the South Dakota border. It’s not a big place, but it’s got a story to tell.

The county gets its name from the red stone that Native Americans have quarried here for centuries. They still do. You can watch them carve pipes at Pipestone National Monument. It’s pretty special.

The landscape here is different from what you might expect in Minnesota. No lakes. No forests. Just prairie, stretching out. Yep, agriculture everywhere.
