About this map

Herman and Norcross anchor this agricultural landscape in Grant County, defined by a grid of township and county highways that crisscross the prairie. The community of Herman serves as a central hub, containing the Herman Post Office and the Herman Municipal Airport, while the Norcross Post Office marks the smaller northern settlement. This area is shaped by a series of water bodies, including Pullman Lake, Nelson Lake, and Big Lake, which are situated just east of the primary rail line and highway corridor.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Eden Reformed Cemetery in the southwestern portion of the map, located near the winding course of Fivemile Creek. The drainage of the Mustinka River reaches into the northeast corner, illustrating the local hydrology. Smaller aviation landmarks like the Itzen Air Strip reflect the importance of crop dusting or private flight in this rural Minnesota region.
