2010 Map of Minnesota Falls

About this map

Minnesota Falls provides a focused view of the agrarian landscape in Renville and Yellow Medicine counties at the start of the 2010s. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Minnesota River in the southwest and the drainage patterns of Hawk Creek, Chetomba Creek, and Spring Creek. This rural section of Minnesota is characterized by a precise grid of township roads and county highways that segment the productive farmland. Cultural and genealogical markers are prominent across the countryside, including the Vestre Sogn Lutheran Cemetery, First Township Cemetery, and the Hawk Creek Lutheran Church Cemetery. These sites, along with the Johnson Airport in the east, illustrate the long-standing community hubs and transportation infrastructure that serve the region's agricultural economy.
