2013 Map of Cleveland

About this map

Glacial lakes and agricultural plots dominate the landscape of Le Sueur County, centered on the village of Cleveland. This 2013 survey illustrates a region defined by its water management, where a complex network of drainage systems like County Ditch Number Sixty and County Ditch Number Four navigate the low-lying terrain between larger bodies such as Lake Jefferson and Lake Washington. The map serves as a valuable resource for genealogical research, identifying several small burial grounds including the Wendelschafer Family Cem, Bluegrass Cem, and Meeker Cem. Beyond the primary residential cluster at Cleveland, the land is utilized for varied agricultural purposes, evidenced by the Cox Apple Orchard near Mud Lake and the Krenik Swine Farms north of Lake Henry. These features, along with the distinct peninsula of Cape Horn, highlight the enduring rural character of this Minnesota lake country.
