About this map

Norway Center sits at the southern edge of this Lincoln County landscape, serving as a focal point in a region defined by its precise agricultural grid and meandering prairie streams. The terrain is patterned by a network of section-line roads, including 294th St and Tower Ave, which navigate around the various drainages that feed into the Big Sioux River watershed. Saddle Cr and W Brule Cr wind through these fields, their irregular paths contrasting with the rigid geometry of the surrounding farmland.

Genealogists and local historians may find particular interest in the Tuntland Cem, located near the intersection of 476th Ave and 291st St. This site, along with the smaller watercourses like Little Beaver Cr and Puttee Cr, provides a detailed record of the rural landscape in the early 21st century, illustrating how traditional settlement patterns and natural features persist amidst modern agricultural development.
