2010 Map of Glenville

About this map

Glenville and its surrounding agricultural landscape are defined by the winding course of the Shell Rock River, which flows southward toward the community of Gordonsville. This 2010 survey reveals a rural Minnesota terrain meticulously managed through a network of drainage systems, including County Ditch Number Sixteen and County Ditch Number Seventy-six, which support the vast farmland between the river and Albert Lea Lake. For genealogists and local historians, the area is notable for its numerous burial grounds, such as Green Cemetery, Round Prairie Cemetery, and the Greenwood Cemetery located just east of the village center near the Glenville Post Office. The infrastructure of the era is marked by the presence of the Air-AG Airport and several localized road networks, including Margaretha Ave and Alcia Ln, which connect the scattered homesteads and the small settlement of Murtaugh to the regional hubs.
