About this map

The consolidated community of Norwood Young America serves as the focal point of this Carver County landscape, situated at the junction of critical rail and road corridors. The local geography is defined by a dense network of glacial basins and drainage systems, including Eagle Lake, Young America Lake, and Brand Lake, alongside the meandering South Fork Crow River in the north. This 2019 survey documents the intricate civic layout of the town, specifically detailing the neighborhoods around Norwood and the residential expansion near Barnes Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the numerous documented burial sites scattered across the township, such as the Crow River - Saint Paul's Lutheran Cem, the Church of the Ascension Catholic Cem, and the Ferguson Cem. The map also captures the persistent agricultural grid, where long-established section lines and roads like Tacoma Blvd and Preserve Blvd interface with the natural waterways of Judicial Ditch Number Five.
