2013 Map of Green Valley

About this map

Green Valley sits at the junction of agricultural life and the natural waterways of Lyon County in this 2013 survey. The landscape is defined by the managed hydrology of the region, where numerous drainage systems like County Ditch Number Fifteen and County Ditch Number Thirtytwo feed into natural watercourses. The drainage of the Yellow Medicine River in the northwest and the Redwood River in the southeast underscores the importance of water management to the local prairie economy. The map illustrates a meticulously planned grid of rural roads, including 390th St and 310th St, which facilitate movement across this productive Minnesota terrain. The small community of Green Valley remains a focal point along the state highway corridor, serving as a primary settlement for the surrounding farms and homesteads.
