About this map

Milroy serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Redwood County, anchored by the Milroy Post Office and a network of section-line roads. The surrounding countryside is defined by its commitment to local heritage and faith, evidenced by the clustered burial grounds including the Danish Cemetery, Our Savior Cemetery, Saint Johns Cemetery, and Saint Michael Cemetery.

Water management is the primary topographical feature, with the natural winding course of the Redwood River in the north contrasted by a highly engineered drainage system. Heavy reliance on agriculture is reflected in the numerous man-made waterways like Judicial Ditch Number Thirtyone, County Ditch Number Ninetythree, and Judicial Ditch Number Fourteen and Fifteen, which channel water toward natural outlets like Clear Creek and Sleepy Eye Creek. This 2010 survey illustrates the persistence of small-town Minnesota infrastructure in the early 21st century.
