About this map

Minnesota Memorial Hardwood State Forest dominates the northern reaches of this Goodhue County landscape, where the deeply incised Clark Valley and numerous ridges define the terrain. The map captures a rural Minnesota community centered around small agricultural hubs and local institutions during the late 1960s. The settlement of White Rock sits on the eastern edge of the forest boundary, while further south, the community of Wastedo is anchored by the Wastedo Sch and a nearby Townhall.

Water is a defining characteristic of the township of Belle Creek, with the creek itself and its tributaries like Butler Creek carving through the limestone-rich topography. Local industry and faith are marked by several Quarry sites and the Spring Garden Ch, alongside family landmarks such as Immanuel Cem. The survey provides a clear view of the section-line road network and field boundaries that organized these farmsteads a century after their initial settlement.
