About this map

The city of Morgan sits at the intersection of local industry and rural heritage in this early 1980s Redwood County landscape. Bisecting the region, the Chicago and North Western railway serves as a central artery, passing through the town and connecting it to outlying points like Gilfillan. The land is defined by sophisticated water management, with numerous drainage works such as Judicial Ditch No 109 and Judicial Ditch No 30 crisscrossing the townships of Sherman and Three Lakes.

A notable historical marker, the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, cuts diagonally across the southern portion of the quadrangle, preserving a trace of early territorial divisions. Genealogists can locate several local burial grounds including St Michael Cem and Morgan Cem, alongside neighborhood congregations like St Johns Ch and Bethany Ch. The northern edge of the map features the winding course of Wabasha Creek, providing a natural contrast to the grid-patterned agricultural fields and gravel works.
