2010 Map of Verndale

About this map

Verndale sits at the heart of this Central Minnesota landscape, where the agricultural grid meets the winding courses of the Wing River and Leaf River. The area's history is reflected in its local landmarks and burial grounds, including Greenlawn Cemetery and Saint Fredericks Cemetery near the town center, while Leaf River Cemetery lies to the northwest. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Wadena Municipal Airport, which occupies a significant portion of the western terrain. The natural drainage of the region is defined by smaller tributaries like Union Creek and Whisky Creek, which meander through the prairie before joining larger waterways. A network of rural routes, such as Leaf River Rd and County Hwy-109, connects scattered farmsteads and agricultural plots, illustrating the persistent importance of the township's land-use patterns into the twenty-first century.
