1971 Map of Haydenville

About this map

Haydenville stands as the primary settlement in this 1971 study of western Minnesota, situated amidst a landscape defined by organized townships and significant conservation efforts. The topography reveals the sprawling agricultural character of Perry, Arena, Walter, and Augusta, where the drainage of the Yellow Bank River winds through the prairie. A historical Indian Treaty Boundary cuts diagonally across the northern section, marking a legacy of land division that predates the modern section lines. Genealogists and local historians can locate specific sites such as Lokken Cem and Zion Cem, while the industrial history of the region is traced through the tracks of the Burlington Northern and an Old Railroad Grade. Extensive wetlands and habitat protections are evident in numerous preserves, including the Acton Marsh State Wildlife Management Area and the National Waterfowl Production Area.
