2010 Map of Sunburg

About this map

Sunburg stands as the primary settlement in this corner of Kandiyohi County, anchored by the Sunburg Post Office and surrounded by a dense network of Lutheran parish cemeteries that speak to the area's Norwegian heritage. The landscape is defined by its glacial heritage, featuring numerous basins like Glesne Lake and Norway Lake, as well as significant dry beds such as Sand Lakebed and West Lakebed. These former lake bottoms, now integrated into the agricultural grid, are managed by an extensive drainage system including County Ditch Number Fifteen and County Ditch Number Twentynine. For the genealogist, the distribution of burial sites like the West Norway Lake Cemetery and Nannestad Cemetery provides a clear map of early congregation boundaries and family clusters throughout the township at the start of the 21st century.
