2019 Map of Glyndon North

About this map

The Buffalo River and the South Branch Buffalo River converge in the southern portion of this landscape, framing the northern edge of Glyndon. This area of Clay County is defined by its rectilinear grid of section lines and drainage management, including the long reach of County Ditch Number Thirty-Eight. The map documents the relationship between the small settlement of Averill and the surrounding agricultural tracts. Local history is anchored by Riverside Cem, situated near the riverbanks north of the main township. The transition from the river bottomlands to the flat, surveyed plains illustrates the intensive water management required for this region's fertile farmland.
