About this map

Agricultural patterns and historical rural institutions define this section of Renville County along the north bank of the Minnesota River. The landscape is organized by a precise grid of county highways and avenues, punctuated by the essential infrastructure of early twentieth-century rural life. Multiple cemeteries, including the Finnish Cemetery and Gilbert Borth Cemetery, reflect the ancestral settlement of the region.

Water management is prominent throughout the terrain, with an extensive network of engineered drainage including County Ditch Number One Hundred Nine A and County Ditch Number One Hundred Fifteen feeding into natural watercourses like Threemile Creek. Local education history is preserved through the locations of School Number 1 and School Number 10, while the Fort Ridgely and Dale Cemetery stands as a notable landmark near the banks of Fort Ridgely Creek.
