2016 Map of Claremont

About this map

Agricultural lands and rural crossroads characterize this landscape on the border of Dodge and Steele counties. Eden stands as a primary settlement point within the survey, serving as a landmark amidst a grid of section lines and township boundaries. The terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, most notably where the S Br Middle Fork Zumbro River cuts through the northern sections. This waterway, along with its various tributaries, dictates the local topography and historical placement of farmsteads. The transition between T108N R18W and T107N R17W illustrates the methodical Public Land Survey System that organized this region of Minnesota into its distinctive rectilinear pattern of roads and fields.
