2010 Map of Godahl

About this map

Godahl and the surrounding Watonwan County countryside appear here as a landscape defined by a rigid grid of township roads and the winding paths of several waterways. The settlement of Sveadahl is a focal point for genealogical interest, anchored by two distinct burial grounds: the West Sveadahl Cemetery and the East Sveadahl Cemetery. This area of southern Minnesota is shaped by the drainage patterns of the North Fork Watonwan River and the Watonwan River, which cut across the geometric precision of the local road network. The southern portion of the quadrangle is further detailed by the course of Butterfield Creek. The map provides a precise view of rural infrastructure, tracing the paths of numerous routes such as County Hwy-1 and County Hwy-116, which connect the scattered farmsteads and small communities during the early 21st century.
