2010 Map of Bricelyn

About this map

Bricelyn serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Faribault County, anchored by the Bricelyn Post Office and a grid of rural section roads. The surrounding terrain is defined by its sophisticated water management systems, including County Ditch Number Sixtyfour and County Ditch Number Seventyfour, which drain the prairie into Brush Creek and the winding East Branch Blue Earth River. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies essential community markers such as Clayton Cemetery to the west and Bricelyn Cemetery located south of the town center. The presence of the Wertjes Landing Strip highlights the ongoing importance of private aviation in supporting the region's vast farming operations. The network of numbered avenues and streets illustrates a late-20th-century rural organization that preserves the earlier patterns of Minnesota's settlement history.
