About this map

The Minnesota River valley carves a deep diagonal through this Renville County landscape, where the Minnesota River Trl follows the northern bank near the historic site of Vicksburg Cem. The upland plains are defined by an extensive drainage network, including County Ditch Number One Hundred Seven and Ditch Number Thirtyfive A, which support the region's agricultural character. Small water bodies like Cummings Lake and Gold Mine Lake sit near the river's edge, while Timms Cr and Sacred Heart Cr feed into the main valley.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across these townships, reflecting the early settlement patterns of Lutheran and Methodist congregations. Notable landmarks include the Bethany Lutheran Cem, Flora Methodist Cem, and several smaller private plots such as the Anson Fisk Family Cem and the Schmitt Family Cem. This documentation captures the enduring intersection of family heritage and the engineered agricultural landscape of the upper Midwest.
