About this map

Swedes Forest and the Sacred Heart township meet along the meandering path of the Minnesota River in this mid-1960s survey. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the upland agricultural plains and the wooded, creek-cut valley floor. Local landmarks include the Opdal Ch and the Joseph R Brown Wayside Park, which commemorate the area's settlement history.

Hydrological features dominate the lowlands, from the marshy Nordeen Slough and Joe Slough to named waters like Iverson Lake and the oddly named Boiling Spring along the southern bluffs. Small-scale industrial activity is evident through numerous Gravel Pit sites and Quarries dotting the riverbanks, particularly near Middag Knutea, while the interior is marked by a network of drainage infrastructure such as the Ditch north of Hawk Creek.
