About this map

The Minnesota River defines the northwestern boundary of this agricultural landscape in Scott County, where the settlement of Belle Plaine anchors the northeastern corner. This area is characterized by a high density of burial grounds, serving as a significant resource for genealogists researching the many local congregations. These include Oakwood Cemetery, Sacred Heart Cemetery, Saints Peter and Paul Cemetery, and the more rural Schlegel Cemetery and Church of the Redeemer Cemetery.

Infrastructure is dominated by a grid of township roads and historic trails such as Union Trl and Belle Plaine Trl. Small watercourses like Robert Creek and Forest Prairie Creek drain the farmland, while the small Nagel and Schultz Airport and the Blakeley area represent the transportation and community hubs south of the river. The presence of the Belle Plaine Post Office and numerous county highways illustrates the continued civic organization of this river valley region.
