2019 Map of Canton

About this map

Canton and Harmony anchor the southern reaches of this landscape, situated just north of the Minnesota state line. The terrain is deeply incised by the S Fork Root River and its various tributaries, including Wisel Cr, Sorenson Cr, and Pine Cr. These waterways carve through the plateau, creating a complex network of ridges and valleys that define the local geography. The map reveals a high concentration of community burial grounds, which offer significant value for genealogical research. Notable sites include the Henrytown Lutheran Cem, Amish Cem, Lenora Cem, and Elliota Cem near the southern border. The small settlements of Henrytown, Amherst, and Lenora are connected by a grid of rural routes such as Co Hwy 21 and State Line Rd, illustrating the persistent agricultural and small-town character of Fillmore County in the late 2010s.
