1981 Map of Belle Plaine South

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Minnesota River valley shapes the northwestern portion of this area, where the Chicago and North Western rail line follows the riverbank through the small settlement of Blakeley. Further east, the town of Belle Plaine sits on the higher terrace, showing a concentrated grid of streets anchored by its High Sch and religious sites like Sacred Heart Cem. The surrounding townships of Blakeley, Belle Plaine, Tyrone, and Derry Nane reveal a landscape transitioning from river bluffs to an agricultural plain dissected by Judicial Ditch No 2. Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds, including Schlegel Cem and the Church of the Redeemer Cem. Drainage and water management are prominent themes, visible in the extensive network of ditches and the Mahoney State Wildlife Management Area.
