2016 Map of Glencoe

About this map

Glencoe sits at the heart of this McLeod County landscape, where the town grid is bounded by Buffalo Cr to the south and Berhoffer Lake to the west. The surrounding countryside is defined by a complex network of agricultural drainage and natural waterways, including the S Fork Crow River and the small Bear Cr. A notable characteristic of the terrain is the presence of several former lake basins now identified as the Swan Lakebed and Bog Lakebed, indicating shifts in the local hydrology over time. Genealogists will find several burial sites scattered across the sections, such as Hillcrest Cem near the town center, and the rural Bear Creek Cem, Koniska Cem, and Getchell Cem. The map meticulously labels the rural road grid, from 100th St in the south to 175th St at the northern boundary, illustrating the organized land division of this prairie region.
