About this map

Blooming Prairie serves as the primary hub of this southern Minnesota landscape, where the agricultural grid is defined by a network of county highways and local roads. The town is situated near the convergence of Steele, Dodge, and Freeborn counties, with Us-218 cutting a diagonal path southeast toward the village of Corning. This corridor highlights the importance of regional transit between the small rural centers and the surrounding farmsteads.

Genealogists will find several notable burial sites scattered across the township lines, including First Lutheran Cem, Red Oak Grove Cem, and Udolpho Cem. The eastern edge of the survey is defined by the winding course of the Cedar River, where the Brookside Campground offers a rare break from the cultivated fields. To the west, the drainage of the land is managed through features like Deer Cr and the Magnuson Ditch, illustrating the modified hydrology common to this prairie region.
