2022 Map of Greenleafton

About this map

Greenleafton and Bristol anchor this agricultural landscape in southern Fillmore County, where the terrain begins its descent toward the Upper Iowa River. The area is notably dense with burial grounds, indicating a deeply rooted community structure from earlier generations of settlement. Genealogists will find a concentration of local history at the Saetersdal Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Cem, Saint Mathews Cem, and Bristol Grove Cem, among others. The drainage pattern is defined by the Br Root River and Willow Cr, while the village of Granger sits right at the Minnesota border. This survey provides a modern layout of the township roads and county highways that replaced the early pioneer trails, preserving the locations of springs like Crystal Spring and Big Spring Tr that once dictated the placement of farmsteads and small crossroads communities.
