About this map

The Rock River valley defines the geography of Rock County in this mid-century look at the area surrounding Luverne, Minnesota. The landscape is marked by the distinctive elevation of Blue Mound, where Blue Mound State Park preserves the local prairie and granite outcrops. The town itself is a well-established hub, anchored by institutional landmarks like the Armory, City Hall, and the County Fairground.

Rail infrastructure was still a major component of the local economy during this era, with both the Chicago and North Western and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific lines bisecting the region. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, showing numerous burial sites including Norwegian Cem, St Catherines Cem, and Restlawn Memorial Gardens, alongside several country churches and schools like St Catherines Sch.
