2022 Map of Cannon City

About this map

The confluence of the Straight River and the Cannon River anchors the southwestern portion of this landscape, where the northern edges of Faribault transition into the agricultural heart of Rice County. This area is defined by a dense network of township roads and drainage systems, including Prairie Creek and Falls Creek, which carve through the terrain. Small rural clusters like Cannon City, Prairieville, and Ruskin serve as historical focal points amidst the large-scale section divisions of the Public Land Survey System. The map traces several distinctive pathways, such as Gibson Trl and Cagger Trl, while the N Fork Zumbro River appears in the southern reaches. These watercourses and rural corridors reflect the enduring agrarian character and settlement patterns of this part of southern Minnesota.
