Step one: the free Rock County viewer
For land around Kenneth, open the Rock County Beacon site (Schneider Geospatial's Beacon platform); it's the map Rock County itself publishes. In the county version, the search page takes an owner, an address or a parcel ID, and each report links back to the map view for the tract around Hills. Bookmark our Rock County page too; it tracks the official Minnesota link if it moves and lists the maps around Hills.

How the survey grid is numbered
For land around Luverne, section 1 sits in the northeast corner of a licensed survey township, and the sequence zigzags row by row to section 36.
