About this map

Beauford serves as a central point of reference in this portion of Blue Earth County, where the agricultural landscape is deeply etched by a winding network of waterways. The Le Sueur River meanders through the northern section, joined by the Cobb River and Little Cobb River as they flow across a grid of section-line roads. This geography creates a series of drainage patterns and wetlands, exemplified by Rice Lake and the engineered County Ditch Number Eighty-eight.

Family history and local landmarks are preserved in sites like Oak Hill Cem and Decoria Cem. Recreational and specialized use of the land is evident in the Terrace View Golf Course and the Hoppe Sky Ranch Airport. Small named areas such as Hungry Hollow and Decorah Hts provide localized points of interest for researchers tracing the development of this rural Minnesota community during the early 21st century.
