2019 Map of Greenwald

About this map

New Munich and Greenwald anchor this section of central Minnesota, where the agrarian landscape is defined by the winding course of the Sauk River. The region’s development is closely tied to its water management, evidenced by extensive drainage systems like County Ditch Number Fortyfour and County Ditch Number Thirtyone that crisscross the prairie. These engineering efforts support the productive farmland surrounding settlements like Meire Grove and Spring Hill. Cultural and genealogical history is centered around local landmarks such as Saint Andrews Cem near Greenwald and Saint Michael Cem in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section roads, including Co HWY 30 and Co RD 176, which facilitate movement between these close-knit rural communities and the nearby tributaries of Stony Cr and Getchell Cr.
