About this map

The village of Hayward serves as the primary hub in this early 1980s landscape of southern Minnesota, where the agrarian grid is defined by an extensive drainage network including Judicial Ditch No 12 and Turtle Creek. The area’s spiritual and communal history is well-preserved through several rural landmarks, such as Moscow Ch and Oakland Ch, alongside numerous burial grounds like St Pauls Cem and the Seventh-day Adventist Cem.

Transport and commerce are dominated by the Milwaukee Chicago St Paul and Pacific railroad, which links the settlements of Petran and Hollanddale Junction. This rail corridor, running parallel to the interstate, influenced the local development pattern seen at Sigsbee and the distribution of industrial features like the Gravel Pit and the Water Tank in Hayward. The map provides a detailed view of Freeborn County's townships, including Riceland, Moscow, and Oakland.
