2013 Map of Milroy

About this map

Milroy serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in southwestern Minnesota, situated at the intersection of MN-68 and Co HWY-8. This 2013 survey reveals a rural society organized around its faith and heritage, evidenced by a dense concentration of burial grounds including Danish Cem, Our Savior Cem, Saint Johns Cem, and Saint Michael Cem. The terrain is defined by a sophisticated system of drainage engineering, with features like Judicial Ditch Number Fourteen and Fifteen and County Ditch Number Ninetythree modifying the natural flow of the Redwood River and Sleepy Eye Cr. These ditches represent the long-term management of the prairie to support the region's farm economy. The western edge of the map tracks the Lyon Co Redwood Co border, following Lyon Redwood Rd, while the village itself maintains essential local services such as the Post Office on Cedar St.
