About this map

Bertha and Hewitt anchor this agricultural landscape along the border of Todd and Wadena Counties in central Minnesota. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, including the winding Wing River, Bear Creek, and the Little Partridge River, which are supplemented by man-made drainage systems like County Ditch Number Fifteen. This intricate water-management system underscores the region's reliance on reclaiming wetland for cultivation.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, particularly the concentration of rural cemeteries such as Mount Nebo Cemetery, Trinity Cemetery, and Peace Cemetery. The local topography is punctuated by Mt Nebo, a distinct rise overlooking the surrounding plains. The map also detail's the rectilinear road grid, from Todo Line Road in the north to 430th Street in the south, showing the enduring structure of the area's township and range divisions.
