2013 Map of Barnesville

About this map

Barnesville serves as the central hub of this prairie landscape, situated near the intersection of MN-9 and Co HWY-52. The town's layout is defined by a grid of numbered streets and avenues, including Front St S and 13th St NE, bordering the small waters of Blue Eagle Lake. The surrounding Clay County countryside is heavily marked by a network of drainage and creek systems such as Stony Cr and Whisky Cr, essential features in this agricultural region. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, including Elkton Cem to the north and the clustered Saint Marys Cem and Rosemound Cem on the town's western edge. The presence of both the Barnesville Municipal Airport and the Mathew Private Field Airport highlights the importance of general aviation in the rural commerce of this early 21st-century Minnesota community.
