2019 Map of Sunburg

About this map

Sunburg serves as a central point in this prairie landscape of northwestern Kandiyohi County, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and drainage systems. The map illustrates a high concentration of religious and genealogical sites, with numerous burial grounds such as the Sunburg Free Lutheran Church Cem and Nannestad Cem scattered across the township. The presence of both Sand Lakebed and West Lakebed alongside prominent water bodies like Norway Lake and Sunburg Lake reveals the region's complex hydrology, managed in part by County Ditch Number Fifteen and County Ditch Number Twenty-nine. This 2019 survey documents the enduring rural character of the area, where section lines and local roads like Co Hwy 36 link family farms and long-established community centers.
