2019 Map of Nimrod SW

About this map

The Redeye River winds through this section of Wadena County, carving a serpentine path across a landscape defined by extensive wetlands and seasonal watercourses. This 2019 survey documents a rural environment where human settlement is sparsely distributed along a grid of county roads, such as Co Hwy 10 and Co Hwy 8. The area's social history is preserved in its local burial grounds, including the North Germany Cem in the northwest and West Lyons Cem near the eastern border. These sites, along with the Wing River Union Cem, provide important anchor points for genealogical research in this part of Minnesota. The confluence of Hay Creek and the main river reflects the traditional drainage patterns that have shaped land use and road placement throughout the townships.
