About this map

Alden anchors this southern Minnesota landscape, situated at the intersection of local routes like Washington Ave and S Broadway. The town's layout is centered around Morin Lake and the local Post Office, serving as a primary hub for the surrounding agricultural district. To the north, the terrain is dominated by the sprawling Freeborn Lake, featuring distinctive geographic landmarks such as Chicks Point and Arrowhead Point. The hydrography of the region is defined by a network of natural and engineered waterways, including the Cobb River and various drainage systems like County Ditch Number Fiftyfour.

Family history is preserved at the Carlston Cem and Alden Cem, located along the grid of township roads. The map reveals the balance between recreational spaces like the Oakview Golf Course and the essential water resources of Steward Cr and Foster Cr. This survey captures the rural character of Freeborn County in the early 21st century, showing the established road network that connects these scattered lakes and small-town centers.
