2016 Map of Sacred Heart

About this map

Sacred Heart serves as the primary hub for this portion of Renville County, where the grid of agricultural roads meets a landscape defined by drainage engineering and small-town institutions. The map reveals a high density of rural burial grounds, including Krogfus Cem, Our Saviors Cem, and Ebenezer Cem, which point to the established genealogy of the surrounding farmsteads. Natural watercourses like Chetomba Cr and Spring Cr wind through the northern sections, while the southern terrain is heavily managed by a system of numbered waterways such as County Ditch Number One Hundred Sixteen and County Ditch Number One Hundred Nineteen. This intricate network of ditches reflects the transition of the Minnesota prairie into highly productive farmland. The area remains anchored by local centers of faith, such as First English Cem and Trinity Cem, marking the heritage of the local community.
