About this map

The agrarian landscape of Renville County is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and drainage systems engineered to support a productive agricultural heartland. Small burial grounds serve as the primary markers of heritage in this rural expanse, including the Saint Paul Cem and the Swetlanda Lutheran Cem, many of which remain as the only tangible links to the immigrant congregations that settled the township. This particular survey highlights the critical role of water management in the region, with County Ditch Number One Hundred Fifteen and Ditch Number Twelve cutting across the terrain to regulate the moisture levels of the fertile soils. While the natural path of Fort Ridgely Cr winds through the central fields, the majority of the landscape is organized by an efficient network of rural roads like Co Rd 4 and Co Rd 50.
