About this map

Greenleafton and Bristol anchor this 2010 survey of southeastern Minnesota, situated just north of the Iowa state line. The landscape is defined by its deep spiritual and community roots, evidenced by the numerous burial grounds scattered across the township, including the Saetersdal Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Cemetery and the Old Greenleafton Cemetery. The terrain is drained by the South Branch Root River in the northwest and the Upper Iowa River in the south, with various agricultural improvements such as the East Willow Creek Dam affecting local hydrology.

The settlement of Granger sits at the very edge of the map, featuring the Granger Post Office and Saint Mathews Cemetery. This area highlights the transition from the rolling uplands of Fillmore County to the river bottoms, where Canfield Creek and Willow Creek carve through the agricultural grid. The network of township and county highways reveals a persistent rural structure that has supported these farming communities for generations.
