About this map

Myrtle serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in southeastern Minnesota, situated at the junction of Railroad Ave and Co Hwy 30. The surrounding terrain is a complex network of managed waterways, including the winding Deer Cr and engineered channels like Judicial Ditch Number Twenty and County Ditch Number Forty-nine, which are essential to the region's drainage and farming operations.

A notable concentration of burial grounds reflects the diverse immigrant heritage of Freeborn County, with sites such as the Bohemian Cem, Danish Cem, and Krikva Cem scattered among the section lines. These cemeteries, alongside family-named landmarks like Peter Lund Cr, offer significant value for genealogists tracing ancestral roots in the townships of London and Shell Rock. The map captures a meticulously organized rural grid defined by roads like Clark Cipra Rd and numerous numbered county highways.
