About this map

The Redeye River meanders through this portion of Wadena County, defining a landscape of wetlands and small agricultural clearings. The 1969 topography reveals a rural township structure organized into North Germany, Lyons, Wing River, and Bullard districts. These divisions are anchored by local community markers such as North Germany Cem and School No 2422, reflecting the era's decentralized educational and social hubs.

A Pipeline cuts a linear path across the southwestern corner, intersecting with Hay Creek in a terrain otherwise characterized by its winding watercourses and scattered marshland. Local industry is represented by a Gravel Pit south of the river, while the distribution of sites like the West Lyons Cem and Wing River Union Cem provides essential spatial data for genealogists tracing family histories in these specific Minnesota townships.
