About this map

The town of Harmony stands as the primary settlement on this mid-1960s survey, situated where the Chicago Milwaukee ST Paul And Pacific railroad line once served the agricultural community. The landscape is defined by the transition from the Minnesota Memorial Hardwood State Forest in the north to the rolling farmland of Bristol and Harmony townships. Geologically, the area is significant for its karst features, most notably the subterranean passageways of Niagara Cave located near the state line.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with Willow Creek, Partridge Creek, and the Upper Iowa River cutting through the terrain. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in burial grounds, documenting Greenfield Cem, Rice Cem, and Waukokee Cem among others. Unique landmarks such as Hammervold Landing Field and the Big Spring highlight the local transportation and natural resources that shaped this corner of Fillmore County.
