2016 Map of Godahl

About this map

Watonwan River and its tributary Butterfield Cr carve a winding course through this agricultural landscape on the border of Brown and Watonwan Counties. The settlement of Godahl sits at the northeastern corner of the map, while Sveadahl serves as a central landmark for the surrounding farming community. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent rural structure of the region, anchored by the West Sveadahl Cem and East Sveadahl Cem, which provide significant points of reference for local family history. The drainage patterns of the N Fork Watonwan River define the northern terrain, which is otherwise characterized by a precise grid of county and township roads like Co Hwy 1 and 100th St, reflecting the enduring Public Land Survey System of the Upper Midwest.
