2010 Map of Hector

About this map

Hector serves as the central hub for this portion of Renville County, organized around a rigid grid of residential streets and agricultural infrastructure. The community is anchored by the Hector Post Office and bordered to the south by the Hector Municipal Airport, while several burial grounds including Saint John's Catholic Cemetery, Hector Cemetery, and the German Lutheran Cemetery provide significant points for genealogical research. Outside the town limits, the landscape is defined by an extensive network of drainage systems such as County Ditch Number Six and County Ditch Number Thirtyfour, which support the region's intensive farming. These man-made watercourses intersect with natural features like High Island Creek, illustrating the long-standing efforts to manage the prairie hydrology for agricultural production.
