About this map

Sleepy Eye Creek and Coal Mine Creek meander across this agricultural landscape along the border of Redwood and Brown counties. The area is defined by a strict grid of section roads including Magnolia Avenue and Nature Avenue, which connect several legacy burial sites that reflect the region's pioneer genealogy. Of particular interest to family historians are the Missouri Evans Plot, Tonak Cemetery, and Sundown Lutheran Church Cemetery. The topography is relatively flat with subtle drainage patterns flowing toward the creeks, while larger landmarks like the North Star Cemetery near the southern edge provide fixed points for locating ancestral farmsteads. This survey documents the persistent rural character of these townships where watercourses like Coal Mine Creek still dictate the breaks in the geometric survey lines.
