The settlement of Norseland and the surrounding agricultural landscape of the Sibley and Nicollet County border are defined by an extensive network of managed waterways. This modern survey illustrates how natural drainage like the Middle Branch Rush River and South Branch Rush River has been supplemented by numerous numbered ditches, such as Judicial Ditch Number 14 and County Ditch Number 75. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed regarding local burial sites, featuring the Methodist and Scandian Grove Cemeteries alongside the Norseland Cemetery and several smaller family plots. The landscape also includes prominent water bodies such as Sand Lake and Annexstad Lake, which persist amidst the grid of country roads like County Highway 18 and County Road 61.
