2013 Map of Brush Creek

About this map

Brush Creek anchors this Faribault County landscape, situated near the intersection of Co Hwy-21 and 115th St. The area's agricultural history is reflected in the numerous burial grounds that dot the section lines, including the Walnut Lake Methodist Cem, Walnut Lake Cem, and the N Blue Earth Lutheran Cem. The terrain is defined by its water management and natural hydrology, from the prominent Walnut Lake and South Walnut Lake to the meandering E Br Blue Earth River and Foster Cr. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Wells Municipal Airport in the northern portion of the quadrangle and the engineered flow of County Ditch Number Thirtyseven. This map illustrates the intersection of mid-century aviation, local religious history, and the persistent water systems of southern Minnesota.
