2013 Map of Belle Plaine South

About this map

Belle Plaine anchors the northeast corner of this landscape, situated along a network of historic street names including W Main St and S Meridian St. The area is notably dense with local burial grounds that provide a deep genealogical record of the community, ranging from the Church of the Transfiguration Protestant Episcopal Cem to the Saints Peter and Paul Cem. South of the town center, the Emma Krumbee's Apple Orchard reflects the agricultural character of the region. To the west, the smaller settlement of Blakeley sits near the winding course of the Minnesota River. The geography is further defined by water features like Clark Lake and Robert Cr, while landmarks such as the Nagel and Schultz Airport and Schlegel Cem mark the rural expanses between the primary settlements.
