About this map

Danube and the western edge of Olivia anchor this agricultural landscape in Renville County, where a dense network of section-line roads like Co Rd 1 and 300th St divide the prairie into precise grids. The mapping reveals a high concentration of burial sites that mark the early spiritual centers of the region, including the Long Lake Mission Cem and the German Lutheran Cem. These small rural cemeteries, often set away from the primary settlements, reflect the immigrant heritage and early parish divisions of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Water management is central to the local geography, visible through the meandering course of the W Fork Beaver Cr and the engineered precision of County Ditch Number One Hundred One. The transition from natural prairie drainage to organized agriculture is further evidenced by the location of the Olivia Regional Airport, which occupies a significant tract of level ground between the two primary towns.
