2019 Map of Norseland

About this map

Norseland serves as a local focal point in this agricultural landscape on the border of Nicollet and Sibley counties. The settlement is defined by its cultural anchors, including the Scandian Grove Cem and Norseland Cem, reflecting the area's deep-rooted community history. The surrounding countryside is intricately managed through an extensive network of drainage systems, such as Judicial Ditch Number Fourteen and County Ditch Number Seventyfive, which dictate the productivity of the farmland between the S Br Rush River and Barney Fry Cr. Small family and community landmarks like the Anderson Family Cem and Sauer Cem are scattered across the township grid, providing specific points of interest for those tracing local family lineages. The presence of Sand Lake and Annexstad Lake offer natural breaks in the predominantly rectilinear pattern of county roads and section lines.
