About this map

The Cannon River valley dominates the southern half of this landscape, where the waters widen into Lake Byllesby near the city of Cannon Falls. This area showcases a transition from the structured agricultural grid of the northern plains to the more complex topography of the river corridor. Small settlements like Hampton and New Trier are positioned along the plateau, defined by their local landmarks such as Saint Mary's Catholic Church and Saint Mary's Catholic Cem.

A notable network of rural cemeteries, including Zion Cem, Hampton Cem, and Lakeside Cem, provides significant points of interest for genealogical research across the Dakota Co and Goodhue Co border. The map also records the presence of Backstrom Airport and several smaller waterways like Pine Cr and Spring Cr, illustrating the distribution of transport and drainage throughout this portion of the Minnesota interior.
