2010 Map of Twin Valley SW

About this map

The Wild Rice River meanders across this rural Norman County landscape, defining the character of the terrain just east of Ada. This 2010 survey illustrates a region shaped by agricultural traditions and early social structures, most notably evidenced by the presence of the Norman County Poor Farm Cemetery. Such sites provide a direct link to the history of local indigent care in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Further south, the Norman County/Ada-Twin Valley Airport serves as a modern transportation hub for the surrounding townships. The area is marked by a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Skandinavia Cemetery, Saint John's Cemetery, and West Wild Rice Cemetery, many of which were established by early ethnic church congregations. A grid of county highways, such as County Hwy-19 and County Hwy-24, connects these historic landmarks with the seasonal flows of the Marsh River.
