1966 Map of Hayfield

The hydrology of the area is characterized by the winding Salem Creek and the South Fork Zumbro River, which transition into a more managed landscape via Judicial Ditch No 1. Local landmarks such as the High Sch, Fairview Cem, and a rural Townhall provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in these farming communities. Numerous Gravel Pits dot the eastern portion of the map, indicating the local extraction industry that supported road building in the post-war era.
