About this map

Arlington serves as the primary hub in this agricultural landscape of Sibley County, organized around a traditional grid of streets like W Brooks St and E Dayton St. The town's civic character is anchored by the Sibley County Fairground, the Arlington Raceway, and the local Po. To the south lies the smaller settlement of New Rome, surrounded by a network of rural roads such as 280th St.

The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of High Island Cr and the structured High Island Ditch Number Five, which cut across the prairie toward the complex tributaries of the Rush River in the southeast. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites scattered across the township, including Saint Pauls Cem, Ebenezer Cem, and the more isolated Weckworth Cem and Saint Johns Cem. This survey illustrates the persistent rural-to-town connection common in southern Minnesota, where water management and farm-to-market roads dictate the local geography.
