About this map

Greenleafton and the surrounding townships of York and Bristol characterize the rural landscape of Fillmore County in the mid-1960s. This survey captures a dense network of country cemeteries and churches, such as the The Church of The Brethren and Saetersdal Ch, which serve as primary markers for genealogical research in this agricultural region. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the South Branch Root River and Canfield Creek, with the north featuring the wooded expanse of the Minnesota Memorial Hardwood State Forest.

Industrial activity is evident through numerous Strip Mines and Quarries concentrated near Carimona, while the southern border with Iowa is marked by the Upper Iowa River near the settlement of Granger. The inclusion of fine red dashed lines to indicate field and fence lines provides an exceptional level of detail for understanding mid-century land use and property boundaries across the state line.
