2022 Map of Olivia

About this map

Renville County Courthouse serves as a central anchor for this part of the Minnesota prairie, where the towns of Bird Island and Olivia sit along a major east-west transit corridor. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of water management, with Judicial Ditch Number Nine and County Ditch Number Sixtyseven illustrating the engineering required to support agricultural production in this region. Local heritage is preserved in several burial grounds, including the Olivia German Cem, Saint Mary's Cem, and Bird Island Cem. Natural drainage is represented by the meandering E Fork Beaver Cr, which contrasts with the rigid grid of rural roads like 840th Ave and 370th St that partition the surrounding farmland.
