About this map

The Minnesota River carves a winding path along the northern edge of this landscape, forming the natural border between Renville, Brown, and Nicollet counties. This agricultural region is defined by a sophisticated water management system of drainage canals, including Judicial Ditch Number Seventeen and County Ditch Number Fiftyseven, which supported the conversion of the prairie into productive farmland.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of small rural burial grounds, such as Boyum Farm Cem and Immanuel Cem, which are scattered among the section lines and farmsteads. Landmarks like Kettners Landing on the river and Petersen Bridge serve as traditional crossing points, while Lone Tree Lake remains a distinct natural feature amidst the grid of rural roads like Eden Rd and Terrance Ave.
