2019 Map of Brush Creek

About this map

The agrarian landscape of Faribault County is dominated by the waters of Walnut Lake and South Walnut Lake, which serve as central geographic anchors for this rural region. The settlement of Brush Creek sits along a grid of section-line roads, such as Co Rd 16 and Co Rd 21, which weave through productive prairie land. The drainage of the area is further defined by the E Br Blue Earth River and Foster Cr, carving through the southern and eastern portions of the township. For those researching local history or genealogy, several small burial grounds are meticulously documented, including Walnut Lake Methodist Cem and the North Blue Earth Lutheran Cem. The presence of the Wells Municipal Airport in the northern section indicates the transition toward more modern infrastructure while maintaining the area’s longstanding commitment to its agricultural and water-based geography.
