2010 Map of Hollandale

About this map

The agricultural landscape around Hollandale is defined by an extensive drainage network, where the natural flows of Mud Creek and Turtle Creek are supplemented by numbered engineering projects like Judicial Ditch Number Twelve and Judicial Ditch Number Twentyseven. These systems supported the intensive farming typical of Freeborn County during the early 21st century. The settlement of Hollandale serves as the local hub, featuring the Hollandale Post Office and nearby Ward Airport. Scattered throughout the township are numerous small burial sites that offer clues for family historians, ranging from the Clark Family Cemetery to larger denominational sites like Saint Ansgars Cemetery and Saint Marys Cemetery. To the east, the small community of Maple Island sits near where Deer Creek enters the drainage system, illustrating the region's transition from wetlands to productive cropland.
