About this map

The Minnesota River winds through a deep, glacial-cut valley at the borders of Redwood, Renville, and Yellow Medicine counties. This landscape is defined by the high bluffs overlooking Nordeen Slough and the winding course of Boiling Spring Creek. The upland plains are dominated by an orderly grid of agricultural roads, including Booth Ave and 400th St, while the river valley itself remains more complex with natural drainage features like Echo Creek and Sacred Heart Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find several distinct burial grounds scattered across the townships, from the Swedes Forest Township Cemetery near the river to the Koldorn Family Cemetery and Sandager Cemetery situated further inland. These sites, along with the settlement at Middag Knutea, provide a record of the Scandinavian immigrant heritage and rural community structure that shaped this portion of the Minnesota River Valley.
