1964 Map of Hector
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The town of Hector serves as the primary hub on this Renville County landscape, situated along the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad. This 1964 field-checked survey reveals a highly organized agricultural grid defined by an extensive drainage system, including Judicial Ditch No 15, Judicial Ditch No 11, and Judicial Ditch No 6. These engineered waterways were critical for transforming the prairie into productive farmland across the townships of Martinsburg and Wellington. Outside the main settlement, a Townhall and the Hector Airport indicate the community's local infrastructure. Genealogists will find the Hector Cem and Catholic Cem clearly marked near the town's southern edge. Industrial activity is noted by localized extraction sites such as a Claypit and Gravel Pit, providing materials for the roads and buildings of this prairie community.
