2016 Map of Brush Creek

About this map

Walnut Lake and S Walnut Lake anchor the central landscape of this Faribault County region, where the E Br Blue Earth River flows through the southern terrain. This survey reflects the enduring agricultural and civic structure of the area, centered around the settlement of Brush Creek. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, documenting several distinct burial sites including the Walnut Lake Methodist Cem, the Walnut Lake Cem, and the North Blue Earth Lutheran Cem. A grid of county roads, such as Co RD 16 and Co RD 21, connects these rural landmarks to the Wells Municipal Airport in the northern corner. The drainage patterns of Foster Cr and the surrounding wetlands illustrate the hydrological character of the basin as it appeared in the mid-2010s.
