About this map

The township boundaries of Bird Island, Norfolk, and Birch Cooley meet across this agrarian landscape in southern Renville County. Captured in the early 1980s, the terrain is defined by a systematic network of agricultural water management, including Ditch No 144, Ditch No 63, and Ditch No 124. These man-made channels intersect with the natural drainage of Birch Coulee Creek and Birch Coulee, illustrating the intensive modification of the Minnesota prairie for large-scale farming. A lone Townhall stands in the center of Norfolk, while the Lotherts Landing Strip and a local Gravel Pit indicate the small-scale infrastructure supporting this rural community. The map provides a detailed record of section lines and property access roads that shaped the region's development during the late twentieth century.
