About this map

The Minnesota River carves a deep valley through this agricultural landscape, forming the natural border between Renville and Yellow Medicine counties as it meets Redwood County. This corridor is characterized by its complex hydrology, including the Nordeen Slough and multiple tributaries like Boiling Spring Cr and Echo Cr. The upland prairie is divided by an extensive network of drainage projects such as County Ditch Number One Hundred Nineteen, which supports the region's farming economy.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the townships, including Opdahl Cem, Koldorn Family Cem, and the Swedes Forest Township Cem. Smaller water bodies like Iverson Lake and Long Lake punctuate the northern sections, while the small settlement of Middag Knutea sits near the river bluffs. The map provides a detailed view of the section lines and rural road grids that have defined this part of Minnesota since the late nineteenth century.
