2019 Map of Glencoe

About this map

Glencoe serves as the primary hub in this central Minnesota landscape, where the town site is bounded by the winding course of Buffalo Cr and the waters of Beihoffer Lake. The surrounding terrain is defined by a complex drainage network, including the S Fork Crow River and multiple engineered channels like County Ditch Number Thirteen and County Ditch Number Twenty-six. The presence of large areas labeled as Swan Lakebed and Bog Lakebed indicates a transition from open water to marshy lowlands over time. For genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of several rural burial grounds, including Bear Creek Cem, Koniska Cem, Getchell Cem, and Hillcrest Cem, which are scattered among the agricultural grid of county roads and section lines north and west of the city center.
