2010 Map of Sacred Heart

About this map

Sacred Heart serves as the central hub of this prairie landscape, reflecting the agricultural and community foundations of Renville County. The map provides a detailed view of the town's social fabric, marked by a high density of local burying grounds including Our Saviors Cemetery, First English Cemetery, Trinity Cemetery, and Ebenezer Cemetery. These sites, clustered near the Sacred Heart Post Office, are vital for genealogists tracing early Norwegian and German Lutheran heritage in the region. The surrounding terrain is defined by a precise section-line road grid, such as 830th Ave and County Hwy-9, which navigates the meandering paths of Chetomba Creek and Sacred Heart Creek. Farther north, the isolated Krogfus Cemetery sits along the creek bank, illustrating the dispersed nature of early rural settlements before modern consolidation.
