About this map

Hector serves as the primary hub in this corner of Renville County, where a grid of streets like Ash Ave W and Main St N meets the regional transit corridor. The town's civic and spiritual infrastructure is well-defined by landmarks such as Saint John's Catholic Cem and the nearby Hector Municipal Airport. To the south, the landscape shifts toward a more agrarian character, evidenced by the German Lutheran Cem situated amidst vast agricultural fields.

The region's topography is heavily defined by an intricate network of water management, including Judicial Ditch Number Fifteen and County Ditch Number Thirtythree. These engineered waterways, alongside natural features like High Island Cr and Buffalo Lake, illustrate the historical effort to manage the prairie wetlands for farming. This map provides a clear record of the rural road system, from Co Rd 34 to the section-line grids that organize the Minnesota countryside.
