About this map

Dakota County Technical Coll stands as a central landmark in this 2013 survey of the landscape south of Rosemont. The area is defined by a transition from the developing residential and educational outskirts of the city to the more open township lands of Empire and the rural community of Coates. A network of historic burial grounds, including Saint Joseph Cem and Saint John's Cem, provides a valuable resource for genealogists mapping the early settlers of this portion of Dakota County.

Transportation and recreation influence the terrain, with Turkey Track Airport and Hall Airport serving local aviation while the Rich Valley Golf Course occupies the northeast. The Vermillion River and its S Br Vermillion River meander through the southern half of the quadrangle, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have long shaped local land use and boundary lines in this agricultural and increasingly suburban region.
