2016 Map of High Forest SW

About this map

Evanger Cem and Zion Cem serve as quiet landmarks within this agricultural landscape where the borders of Dodge, Olmsted, and Mower counties converge. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the N Br Root River, which meanders through the northern townships, joined by smaller tributaries like Robinson Cr and N Fork Bear Cr. A rigid grid of section roads, including Co Line Rd and 300 St, organizes the territory into a patchwork of rural holdings. The intersection of major thoroughfares like Co Hwy 15 and Co Hwy 1 indicates the primary corridors of local transport and commerce between these farming communities. This survey documents the persistent rural character of the region, where family history is tied to the drainage patterns of the river branches and the long-established cemetery sites.
