About this map

The town of Cleveland anchors this portion of Le Sueur County, situated in a landscape defined by an extensive network of lakes and managed drainage. The terrain is notably water-rich, with large bodies like Lake Jefferson and Lake Washington dominating the southern half, while the northern sections are crisscrossed by agricultural infrastructure including County Ditch Number Fiftyone and County Ditch Number Sixty. This interplay between natural hydrology and human intervention is a hallmark of the region's development.

For family historians, the area is rich in burial sites, ranging from the central Cleveland Cem and Calvary Cem to smaller, localized plots such as the Wendelschafer Family Cem. The map also traces the winding courses of Dog Creek and several smaller basins like Scotch Lake and Decker Lake. The road network, including the historic Dodd Road, connects these scattered settlements and cemeteries across the townships.
