2021 Map of Geneva SW

About this map

The northern edge of Grafton anchors this rural Fillmore County landscape, where the prairie topography is defined by the headwaters of several drainages. Genealogy researchers will find significant interest in the Grafton Cem and the adjacent Holy Cross Cem, situated just south of the town's original footprint. The map reveals a land divided by a precise grid of rural roads, including RD G and RD H, which facilitate travel through the agricultural sections. In the northern reaches, the Wilkins Lagoon National Management Area provides a specialized protected habitat amidst the cultivated fields. The southern half of the quadrangle is marked by the winding courses of the N Fork Turkey Cr and Turkey Cr, where the terrain begins to show more subtle contour variations compared to the flat northern uplands. This 2021 update preserves the exact spatial relationship between legacy burial sites and the natural waterways like Elk Run and Indian Cr.
