About this map

The Rich Valley of central Minnesota is defined by the winding course of the South Fork Crow River and the industrial hub of Glencoe. This early 1980s survey captures the city's growth, featuring a dense network of local landmarks including the High School, St. Pius X School, and the Hospital. To the west, the landscape transitions into agricultural drainage and reclaimed land, notably the Swan Lakebed and Bog Lakebed, indicating a history of shifting water levels and human intervention through systems like County Ditch No. 11.

Rail transport remains central to the region's layout, with the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad bisecting the terrain. Further north, the settlement of Konaska and the Townhall sit near Bear Creek, while several rural burial grounds such as Bear Creek Cemetery and Getchell Cemetery offer valuable points of interest for genealogists tracing the early families of Bergen and Glencoe townships.
