2019 Map of Byron

About this map

Kasson and Byron define the southern corridor of this landscape, situated along a primary transportation route that bridges the border between Dodge and Olmsted counties. The region is characterized by a sophisticated drainage network feeding into the Middle Fork Zumbro River, with several smaller tributaries such as Tompkins Creek and Cascade Creek carving subtle valleys through the surrounding farmland. These watercourses historically influenced the placement of early settlements and rural hubs like Danesville and Post Town, which remain identified as distinct points on this modern survey. Local history is well-preserved through a series of community landmarks, including the Byron Cemetery and Saint Margaret Cemetery near Mantorville. The map illustrates the contemporary layout of these growing southeastern Minnesota towns while maintaining the spatial context of the original township and range system.
