2019 Map of Belview

About this map

The town of Belview serves as the central hub for this portion of the Minnesota prairie, situated at the boundary of Yellow Medicine and Redwood counties. This 2019 survey illustrates the intricate engineering of the agricultural landscape, where the natural flows of Echo Creek and Ramsey Creek are augmented by extensive drainage systems like Judicial Ditch Number Thirty-two and Judicial Ditch Number-Thirty-three. These modifications are essential to the region's productive farmland, which is partitioned by a precise grid of county roads and avenues. For genealogists, the map identifies several significant burial sites, ranging from the large Belview Cemetery to the smaller Saint Henry Cemetery and the more intimate Adsit Family Plot, reflecting generations of local family history and settlement patterns.
