2016 Map of Glenville

About this map

Glenville serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in southern Minnesota, situated where the Shell Rock River flows south from Albert Lea Lake. The map reveals a high density of rural cemeteries and burial grounds, such as Greenwood Cem and Green Cem, which highlight the deep roots of the local farming community. The terrain is defined by an extensive drainage network, including County Ditch Number Sixteen and Judicial Ditch Number Twenty, illustrating the long-term engineering required to manage the wetlands and marshes common to this part of Freeborn County. Smaller settlements like Murtaugh and developed spaces like Hillcrest Memorial Gardens dot the corridors near the main rail and road routes. From the banks of Goose Cr to the quiet waters of Grass Lake, the sheet preserves the 21st-century configuration of a classic Midwestern township system.
