Norlie provides a map of congregations in Minnesota using symbols to indicate their synodical affiliations.

We began hoping to use Norlie’s data to reproduce his  map and to add layers displaying changes in affiliation.  These maps show congregations’ affiliations in 1900, after formation of the United Church and the Lutheran Free Church, but before the 1917 organization of the Norwegian Lutheran Church in America.  Pop-up labels include page numbers in Norsk lutherske menighter.

Synodical Affiliation color code

• Hauge Synod: orange pins

• unaffiliated: green pins

• Lutheran Free Church: red pins

• Norwegian Synod: blue pins

• United Church: purple pins

• Conference: brown pins
