2013 Map of Byron

About this map

The South Br Middle Fork Zumbro River winds across the landscape, defining the topography of this region along the Dodge Co and Olmsted Co boundary. The area is characterized by established agricultural operations like Double B Farms and Zumbro Ridge Farms, alongside the growing residential communities of Byron and Kasson. Local history is anchored by several distinct burial grounds, including the Othello Cem in the north and Saint Margaret Cem near the western edge. These sites, along with smaller settlements like Danesville and Post Town, illustrate the historical development of the corridor between the river and the southern plains. The terrain is bisected by numerous small waterways such as Plum Cr and Masten Cr, which have historically influenced the placement of farms and early homesteads across these townships.
