2010 Map of Hanska

About this map

The Little Cottonwood River meanders across this rural Brown County landscape, defining the topography north of Searles. This 2010 survey documents the enduring agricultural structure of the region, where small settlements like Linden and Hanska serve as local hubs. The map reveals a complex network of managed waterways, including Judicial Ditch Number Ten and County Ditch Number Sixtythree, which are essential for the drainage of former wetlands like Dane Lakebed. Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds noted, such as Mount Pisgah Cemetery near the shores of Linden Lake, Saint Johns Cemetery, and Rice Lake Cemetery. The layout of the land is further defined by a grid of rural routes like County Hwy-24 and 150th St, reflecting the persistent township-and-range surveying system that shaped this part of Minnesota.
