About this map

The Bowlus and Elmdale settlements anchor this rural landscape in central Minnesota, situated where the N Two River and S Two River converge to form the Two River. This 2013 survey highlights a dense concentration of local heritage sites, particularly in the western portion of the quadrangle near Elmdale. Here, three distinct burial grounds—the Saint Edward's Church Cem, Danish Lutheran Church Cem, and Free Evangelical Church Cem—stand in close proximity, reflecting the diverse denominational roots of the area's early residents.

The landscape is defined by its waterways, including Meadow Cr and Hay Cr, which carve through the undulating terrain of Morrison County. Toward the south, the Stearns County line marks a jurisdictional transition near Fedor Airport. The presence of the Saint Mary Cem and Saint Stanislaus Cem further underscores the deep-seated genealogical significance of this region for those tracing family histories in the Upper Midwest.
