About this map

Spring Valley serves as the primary hub in this southern Minnesota landscape, where the confluence of several vital waterways shaped the early development of the region. The town is situated along Spring Valley Cr, with the S Br Root River and Deer Cr defining the surrounding agricultural drainage. This 2013 survey illustrates a transition from the historic town center to modern recreational and transportation features, including the Deer Creek Speedway and aviation sites like Caldbeck Field Airport.

For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the exact locations of several community landmarks, including Frankford Cem and Saint Ignatius Cem. The infrastructure follows a rigid section-line grid typical of the Midwest, yet is interrupted by the diagonal path of Us-63 and MN-16, which cross at the heart of the settlement. These routes historically connected the farms of Mower Co and Fillmore Co to the markets of the Root River valley.
