About this map

Arlington serves as the primary hub of this agricultural landscape in Sibley County, defined by its grid of rural roads and the winding course of High Island Creek. The town's civic core is centered around the Arlington Post Office, while the northern edge features the Sibley County Fairground and the Arlington Raceway, indicating its role as a regional gathering place. The surrounding countryside reveals a legacy of early settlement and community centers, particularly evident in the distribution of family and parish burial grounds.

Genealogists and local researchers can locate several distinct sites including Saint Pauls Cemetery near the city center and the more isolated Ebenezer Cemetery to the south. Further south, the settlement of New Rome sits near the Weckworth Cemetery, while the South Branch Rush River meanders through the lower portion of the quadrangle. The map captures a well-established farming community where drainage and local waterways like the Middle Branch Rush River continue to shape the placement of homesteads and thoroughfares.
