About this map

Cleveland sits at the heart of this Le Sueur County landscape, anchored by the Cleveland Post Office and surrounded by a dense network of local cemeteries that speak to the area's generational roots. The terrain is defined by a series of significant water bodies, including Scotch Lake, Lake Henry, and the northern reaches of Lake Washington. The land use is heavily influenced by a sophisticated drainage system, with numerous channels such as County Ditch Number Sixty and County Ditch Number Thirtynine cutting through the countryside to manage the low-lying glacial lake basins.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific family and community sites, from the Wendelschafer Family Cemetery near the southern lakes to the Bluegrass Cemetery in the northeast. Transportation follows a grid of established routes like Dodd Rd and Scotch Lake Rd, which connect these rural homesteads and agricultural tracts. Distinctive landforms like the peninsula of Cape Horn on the edge of the larger lake systems highlight the intricate shoreline that dominates the southern half of the quadrangle.
