2022 Map of Brush Creek

About this map

Brush Creek sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in Faribault County, where the southern Minnesota prairie meets the winding East Branch Blue Earth River. The area's settlement history is etched into the land through its numerous burial grounds, including the Walnut Lake Methodist Cem and the North Blue Earth Lutheran Cem, which serve as cornerstones for local genealogical research. The hydrology of the region is dominated by the basin of Walnut Lake and its smaller counterpart, South Walnut Lake, which are fed by local drainages like Foster Cr. Transportation and commerce are represented by a grid of rural roads and the Wells Municipal Airport to the north, while the presence of the Brush Creek Cem near the town center underscores the enduring community roots established along these fertile plains.
