2016 Map of Glyndon South

About this map

Glyndon marks the northern edge of this agricultural landscape in Clay County, situated just as the prairie begins its transition south of the main rail corridors. The survey area is defined by the winding course of the South Branch Buffalo River, which cuts through the flat terrain in a series of tight oxbows and meanders. This 2016 record illustrates a modern rural grid system, where section lines and county roads organize the vast stretches of farmland surrounding the small settlement. The river's path provides the primary natural variation in a landscape otherwise dominated by industrial-scale agriculture and a precise network of arterial roads and interstate connectors.
