2016 Map of Blue Earth

About this map

The Blue Earth River and its East Branch converge south of the city of Blue Earth, creating a landscape defined by water and highly organized agriculture. The grid-based settlement of the city is buffered by Riverside Heights and Riverside, while the surrounding prairie is divided into precise sections by an extensive network of range and township lines. Agricultural management is evident through the presence of engineered waterways like County Ditch Number Seventeen and County Ditch Number Fourteen, which supplement natural streams such as Rice Cr. Local heritage is anchored by several burial grounds situated on the outskirts of the town center, including Calvary Cem to the north and both the Immanuel United Methodist Cem and King Cem located to the east, offering specific points of interest for genealogical research.
