About this map

Agricultural patterns and a network of rural burial grounds define this portion of Renville County. The landscape is marked by the course of Fort Ridgely Cr, which meanders through the central sections, while managed water systems like Ditch Number Twelve and County Ditch Number One Hundred Fifteen indicate the long-term transformation of the prairie for farming. This area preserves a significant genealogical record through its numerous faith-based sites, reflecting the heritage of early settlers. Notable locations include the Palmyra Covenant Swedish Mission Cem and Swetlanda Lutheran Cem, alongside the Saint Paul Cem and Evangelical Lutheran Cem. The strictly organized road grid, including Co Hwy 16 and Co Rd 4, underscores the township and range survey system that shaped this region's development.
