2013 Map of Conger

About this map

Conger and Mansfield anchor this rural landscape in Freeborn County, reflecting a settlement pattern deeply tied to agricultural drainage and local waterways. The terrain is defined by an extensive network of managed water systems, including Judicial Ditch Number Twentyfive, Judicial Ditch Number Twentysix, and County Ditch Number Fortyeight, which facilitate farming across the low-lying prairie. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies several small burial sites that mark early community nodes, such as Conger Community Cem, Mansfield Lutheran Cem, and the Schnieder Cem. Natural water bodies like Bear Lake and the E Br Blue Earth River persist alongside the engineered ditches. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the intersection between traditional township life and the modernization of the Minnesota countryside.
