2013 Map of Greenleafton

About this map

The small settlements of Greenleafton and Bristol anchor this portion of Fillmore County along the Minnesota-Iowa border. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Canfield Cr and Willow Cr, which eventually give way to the Upper Iowa River at the southern edge of the sheet. This area shows a deep historical footprint through its numerous community burial grounds, including the Saetersdal Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Cem and Bristol Grove Cem. The presence of both the Greenleafton Cem and an Old Greenleafton Cem suggests a shift in the local center of gravity or church affiliation over generations. To the southeast, the village of Granger sits directly against the state line, where the road network transitions into the Iowa landscape. The topography transitions through Daisy Valley and across several local ridges, which are navigated by a dense grid of township roads such as TWP HWY 312 and Co HWY-9.
