1983 Map of Morton NE

About this map

Palmyra and Melville townships define this agricultural landscape in Renville County, where the regular geometry of section lines is punctuated by a network of drainage infrastructure including Judicial Ditch No 15 and County Ditch No 106A. These engineered waterways reflect the intensive land management required to sustain farming across the prairie. The map identifies several key community anchors, notably the Palmyra American Townhall Ch and Swedlanda Ch, which alongside St Paul Cem and Palmyra Cem, provide vital geographic markers for genealogists and local historians tracing the settlement patterns of this rural region. The intersection of township boundaries like Martinsburg and Bandon further illustrates the political organization of the countryside in the early 1980s.
