2010 Map of Normania

About this map

The Yellow Medicine River winds through the southern landscape of this agricultural region, providing a natural contrast to the rigid grid of rural roads. This 2010 survey of the Normania area highlights a pattern of settlement deeply tied to its heritage, as evidenced by several localized burial grounds serving the farming community. Genealogists may find particular interest in the Spring Creek Norwegian Lutheran Cemetery, Bethlehem Cemetery, and Saint Lucas Cemetery, which reflect the cultural history of the townships. The terrain is further defined by several water bodies, including the meandering path of Spring Creek in the north and the cluster of Spellman Lake and Miedd Lake to the east. The map detail illustrates the transition from the upland prairies to the river valley, where roads like County Hwy-D1 and Lyon Yellow Medicine Rd follow the local topography.
