Bixby sits as a central landmark in this portion of Steele County, characterized by its distinctive Bixby Post Office and a grid of rural roads. The landscape is defined by the agricultural layout of Southern Minnesota, where sections are clearly delineated by routes like Austin Rd and County Hwy-14. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, including the Aurora Township Cemetery to the north and Union Cemetery and Westfield Cemetery further south. These sites, alongside water features like Rickert Lake and Turtle Creek, provide concrete reference points for tracing family landholdings. The presence of the Selstad Landing Field near the southern boundary highlights the continued integration of private aviation into the modern rural economy.
