About this map

The Cedar River winds through this northern Mitchell County landscape, serving as a geographic focal point for the surrounding agricultural communities. Along its banks and tributaries like Otter Cr and Deer Cr, small settlements define the rural character of the region. The city of Saint Ansgar anchors the southern portion of the map, while smaller locales like Mona, Otranto, and Toeterville are linked by a grid of named roads such as Dancer Ave and Glass Ave.

Infrastructure and recreation are evident in features like the Otranto Bridge and the Acorn Park Golf and Recreation area near Newburg. The map captures a moment in the early 21st century where traditional farming life meets modern road networks, including the intersection at Stacyville Junction. Local history enthusiasts can trace the placement of these established hamlets relative to the natural drainage patterns of Turtle Cr and the larger river system.
