2016 Map of Brownsdale

About this map

Brownsdale serves as the primary hub in this portion of Mower County, situated along the upper reaches of Wolf Cr. The landscape is defined by a dense grid of township roads and agricultural sections, punctuated by small rural settlements and pioneer burial sites. To the east, the hamlet of Renova sits near the headwaters of Dobbins Cr, while the community of Nicolville is positioned further south. This area is characterized by its numerous family and denominational cemeteries, including Hoflanda Cem and the Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Cem, which indicate the deep-rooted immigrant and agrarian heritage of the region. The drainage patterns of the Little Cedar River and Rose Cr create the only notable breaks in the otherwise orderly section lines of the Public Land Survey System.
