About this map

The Minnesota River valley carves a deep path through this early 1980s landscape, serving as a natural divider between Redwood and Renville counties. Along its banks, the Old Indian Treaty Boundary marks a significant historical line, while the Lower Sioux Indian Reservation occupies the river's southern bluffs. In Redwood Falls, the civic heart is defined by the Courthouse, Hospital, and the Johnson Park Fairground.

Evidence of the region's diverse land use is found in the sprawling Honner State Wildlife Management Area and the industrial activity near the Chicago and North Western rail lines. Researchers can trace local heritage through numerous cemeteries, including Beaver Falls Cem and St Catherine Cem Redwood Falls Cem, or locate landmarks such as the Historical Monument overlooking the river near North Redwood.
