2013 Map of Belle Plaine North

About this map

The Minnesota River snakes through the southern edge of this landscape, marking a complex intersection of county lines between Scott, Sibley, and Carver counties. The northern portion of Belle Plaine sits along the river's bend, where local streets like W Court St and E Court St meet the corridor of MN-25. The terrain to the north is defined by glacial depressions and water bodies, including Maria Lake and Hoeffken Lake, alongside agricultural drainage infrastructure like Judicial Ditch Number Twentytwo. Rural life is anchored by the small settlement of Gotha and several faith-based sites, such as the Zion Lutheran Church Cem and the W Union Lutheran Church Cemetary. Notable for its many small waterways like Bevens Cr and Silver Cr, this map captures the transition from the river valley to the upland prairies of the Minnesota countryside.
