About this map

Walnut Grove is the primary settlement on this 2016 survey, situated at the intersection of a grid-like agricultural landscape and the winding course of Plum Cr. The town layout includes central streets such as Main St, Bedal St, and numbered thoroughfares from 3rd St to 7th St. Genealogy and local history researchers will find several well-defined burial grounds surrounding the community, including Walnut Grove Cem, Calvary Cem, and Plum Cr Cem.

To the south, the landscape transitions into a network of section roads like 210th St and 240th St, where Saint Olaf Cem stands as a distinct landmark. The drainage patterns of Pell Cr and the presence of Plum Creek Lake illustrate the prairie pothole geography of the region, where modern county highways such as Co Hwy 10 and Co Hwy 5 now follow the original township and range lines established during early settlement.
