About this map

Spring Valley and Wykoff anchor this corner of Fillmore County, showing a landscape defined by deeply incised river valleys and a dense concentration of rural landmarks. The drainage network is particularly detailed, featuring the S Br Root River and its numerous tributaries including Spring Valley Cr, Watson Cr, and Forestville Cr. A notable geological feature, Freiheit Spring, is situated near the center of the survey area, indicating the karst-like hydrologic characteristics of this part of Minnesota.

For genealogists and local historians, the map is an exceptional resource due to the high density of burial sites scattered across the townships. From the clustered Saint Kilian's Cem, Immanuel Cem, and Saint Johns Cem near Wykoff to more isolated sites like Bateman Cem and Lone Oak Cem, the map preserves the locations of early community centers. The small settlement of Fillmore in the northeast further illustrates the historical distribution of villages across this agricultural region.
