2013 Map of Bratsberg

About this map

Bratsberg and the surrounding farming landscape of Fillmore County are defined by the winding creek valleys and ridges of southeastern Minnesota. The settlement of Choice sits in the valley near Shattuck Cr, while Highland occupies higher ground to the west. This 2013 survey is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it documents several historic burial sites tied to the area's early Norwegian-American heritage, including Highland Prairie Cem and Kopperud Cem. The terrain is marked by distinctive features such as Pigtail Ridge and numerous small waterways like Diamond Cr and Wiset Cr. A network of secondary roads, such as Co Hwy-10 and Bear Paw Rd, connects these rural communities across the dissected plateau.
