2022 Map of Byron

About this map

The Dodge County and Olmsted County line bisects this landscape of precision-gridded section lines and winding river valleys. Modern Byron serves as a primary hub alongside the neighboring community of Kasson, with smaller settlements like Post Town and Danesville marking the intersections of the rural road network. The drainage patterns of the S Br Middle Fork Zumbro River and its various tributaries, including Harkcom Cr, Plum Cr, and Tompkins Cr, dictate the local topography and the placement of older landmarks. For those looking into local lineage, several burial grounds are preserved across the townships, including Byron Cem, Othello Cem, and Evergreen Cem, alongside Saint Margaret Cem near the historic seat of Mantorville. The presence of the Zumbro River Trl reflects the contemporary recreational use of the river corridors that once defined early transit in this part of Minnesota.
