About this map

The town of Sherwood sits directly against the international boundary in this late 1940s survey of Renville County. As a border community, the area is defined by its proximity to Canada, marked here by the U. S. Port of Entry at the northern edge of the township. The Great Northern railroad provides the primary industrial link, terminating in the heart of the settlement near the Municipal Park. The surrounding landscape is organized into civil townships including Colquhoun, Eden Valley, Hurley, and Hamerly. This map captures the rural social infrastructure of the era, from the Landing Field and Sherwood Golf Course to the Union Cem and Lutheran Cem. Drainage in this prairie landscape is defined by the winding paths of Cut Bank Creek and Little Deep Creek, which meander through the sections south of the border.
