2015 Map of Canova West

About this map

Vilas and the northern outskirts of Canova anchor this section of Miner County, documenting a classic Midwestern section-line grid of rural roads and agricultural plots. The landscape is defined by the Coteau des Prairies, a high plateau that influences the local drainage patterns. Water flows through the meandering Wolf Cr in the west and the W Fork Vermillion River along the eastern margin. This 2015 survey provides a precise view of rural infrastructure, from the intersecting paths of 430th Ave and 242nd St to preserved local landmarks. Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint the locations of Saint Pauls Cem and Graceland Cem, which serve as permanent markers of the area's early settlement history amidst the evolving modern landscape.
