2022 Map of Bixby

About this map

Bixby sits at a crossroads in the southern Minnesota farmland, where the straight lines of the county road system meet the winding course of Turtle Cr. This landscape is defined by its drainage and water management, featuring a network of engineered waterways like Ebeling Ditch and Green Valley Ditch that support the surrounding agricultural economy. The area is dotted with natural bodies of water including Oak Glen Lake and Rickert Lake, which break up the geometric township and range sections. The county line between Steele and Dodge Counties runs vertically through the center of the survey, separating different jurisdictional grids. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies three significant burial sites: Aurora Township Cem to the north, Union Cem near the center, and Westfield Cem on the eastern edge. To the south, the map reaches the northern outskirts of Blooming Prairie.
