2019 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 natural waterways and an extensive network of drainage infrastructure like County Ditch Number Seventeen and County Ditch Number Fourteen. This 2019 survey documents the modern layout of the city, including its residential expansion into Riverside Heights and the industrial and municipal sectors near the junction of major transit routes. The map is a vital resource for genealogists, as it meticulously identifies several local burial sites, such as Riverside Cem and Calvary Cem north of town. Rural church history is preserved through labels like Immanuel Ch, while the surrounding sections illustrate the grid of agricultural roads that have partitioned Faribault County since its early development.
