About this map

Glencoe serves as the primary urban center in this 2010 survey of McLeod County, situated near the confluence of local water systems. The town is anchored by the Glencoe Post Office and residential developments like Sunrise Court and Anderson Court. To the north, the small settlement of Koniska is defined by its relationship with the South Fork Crow River, which winds eastward through the agricultural landscape.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the township, including Bear Creek Cemetery, Koniska Cemetery, Getchell Cemetery, and Hillcrest Cemetery. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features such as Buffalo Creek, Bear Creek, and the distinct areas of Swan Lakebed and Bog Lakebed, indicating a landscape shaped by historical glacial movement and drainage patterns. A dense grid of county roads, including Kale Ave and County Hwy-2, provides access to these outlying rural landmarks and family-named homestead sites.
