About this map

The Yellow Medicine River meanders across this rural prairie landscape in the late 1960s, defining the southern geography of Normania and Valleys townships. The land is characterized by its agricultural grid and scattered water bodies like Spellman Lake and Miedd Lake, while the Myhre State Wildlife Management Area preserves a pocket of native terrain.

Social and civic life is anchored by several rural landmarks, including the small settlement of Normania and nearby St Lucas Ch. Genealogists will find value in the precise locations of the Bethlehem Cem and Spring Creek Ch, while the inclusion of a local Townhall and a Gravel Pit near Spring Creek illustrates the modest infrastructure of this Minnesota farming community. The map also captures the boundary between Yellow Medicine Co and Lyon Co along the southern edge.
