About this map

Hollandale serves as the central hub for this agricultural landscape along the border of Steele and Freeborn counties. The terrain is defined by an extensive network of water management, where natural flows like Mud Cr and Turtle Cr are integrated with an engineered system of drainage, including Judicial Ditch Number Twentyseven and Judicial Ditch Number Thirty. This pattern of ditches and branches, such as Knotvold Br and Peterson Br, illustrates the intensive modification of the local hydrology to support the region's fertile farmland.

Genealogists and local historians will find several significant burial sites scattered across the township lines. These include the Saint Ansgars Cem in the north and the Saint Marys Cem further south. Smaller family and community sites like Clark Family Cem, Summit Cem, and the Hollandale Cem near the town center provide specific points of interest for tracing early residents in this part of Southern Minnesota.
