2013 Map of Hollandale

About this map

Hollandale anchors this agricultural landscape in southern Minnesota, situated near the intersection of MN-251 and Hague Ave. The terrain is defined by a dense network of water management features, including Judicial Ditch Number Twenty-eight, Judicial Ditch Number Twenty-seven, and Judicial Ditch Number Thirty, which reflect the historic drainage of the area's peatlands for cultivation. Genealogical interest is high on this sheet, which preserves the locations of several burial grounds such as Saint Marys Cem, Summit Cem, and the Clark Family Cem. To the east, the small settlement of Maple Island sits near the headwaters of Deer Cr, while Mud Cr and Knotvold Br wind through the surrounding fields, marking the natural hydrology that persistent ditching has sought to control.
