About this map

The Cobb River and its sister waterway, the Little Cobb River, define the rural landscape of southern Blue Earth County in this mid-2010s survey. At the southern edge, the small settlement of Beauford sits near the Oak Hill Cem, while further north, the Decoria Cem and the residential area of Decoria Hts overlook the winding Le Sueur River. This drainage system creates a complex topography of ravines and creek beds, most notably at Hungry Hollow, which contrasts with the gridded agricultural fields that dominate the uplands.

Aviation and recreation are represented by the Hoppe Sky Ranch Airport, a distinctive private landing strip situated among the farmsteads. To the east, the sprawling wetlands of Rice Lake mark the transition into the neighboring township. The map preserves the exact alignment of local infrastructure, from established routes like Co Rd 90 to the network of numbered section roads that have structured this farming community for generations.
