2020 Map of Galesburg

About this map

Galesburg and Clifford serve as the primary hubs of this agricultural landscape along the boundary of Steele and Traill counties. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Elm River, which meanders through the southern and central portions of the quadrangle, influencing the layout of local sections and road networks. The map provides a contemporary record of these small communities, noting the grid of Dakota Ave in Galesburg and the northern position of Clifford. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet preserves the locations of established burial grounds, including the Elm River Cem situated just west of Galesburg and the Clifford Cem to the northeast of its namesake town. A robust network of county roads, such as Co Hwy 16 and Co Hwy 9, connects the various townships across this part of the Red River Valley region.
