1970 Map of Bergen

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Bergen serves as a central point of reference in this agricultural region of southern Minnesota, where the landscape is meticulously carved by a complex network of waterways and drainage improvements. The South Fork Watonwan River and North Fork Watonwan River meander through the northern portion of the quadrangle, while Elm Creek flows through the southern reaches. The implementation of Judicial Ditch No 13 underscores the era's focus on land management and water control for farming. Local landmarks provide essential touchstones for genealogists and local historians, including the Hauger Cem in Belmont and a local Townhall situated near the intersection of Kimball and Enterprise townships. This 1970 field-checked survey also details the section lines and field boundaries, often marked by fences visible from aerial photography, that define the rural grid of the day.
