About this map

The Redeye River flows across the northern reaches of this Wadena County landscape, where the village of Sebeka sits along the Burlington Northern railroad line. This 1969 survey captures a rural environment structured by township grids and glacial waterways, including Hay Creek and the southern Wing River. The map is particularly rich for local genealogy, noting several community hubs such as School No 2441 and a variety of rural spiritual centers including Zion Ch, Leaf River Ch, and St Huberts Cem.

A distinct pocket of specialized land use appears in the southwest corner with the U S Military Reservation, while the surrounding townships of Rockwood and Leaf River are dotted with economic markers like numerous Gravel Pits and the local Townhall. This document preserves the late-1960s layout of the Blue Grass area before significant modern agricultural or residential consolidation altered the footprints of these small prairie settlements.
