2016 Map of Sogn

About this map

Sogn and Wangs anchor this rural landscape in Goodhue County, where the dendritic drainage of the Little Cannon River and Prairie Cr carves into the upland plateau. The map reveals a deeply rooted settlement pattern defined by its namesake Norwegian heritage, seen in the density of rural burial grounds like Wangen Prairie Cem and Urland Cem. This 2016 survey documents the enduring grid of the Public Land Survey System, where modern county roads like CO 24 Blvd and CO 9 Blvd follow historical township lines. The terrain is characterized by steep-sided coulees and high ridges, particularly around Butler Cr, illustrating the transition from agricultural tablelands to the river valleys that feed the larger Cannon River system to the north.
