About this map

Cordova sits at the heart of this landscape, a settlement positioned near the southern shores of Gorman Lake. The geography is defined by a dense concentration of glacial lakes and an extensive network of managed drainage, including County Ditch Number Fifty and County Ditch Number Sixtyfour. These channels, alongside the winding Cannon River, illustrate the long-term efforts to manage the water table for the surrounding agricultural lands. Notable landmarks like the Gorman Lake Dam show the modification of the natural hydrology to support the local community.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township, such as Phebe Jones Lakeside Cemetery on the banks of German Lake and Saint Peter's Cemetery to the south. Other family and community sites like Gorman Cemetery, Cannonville Cemetery, and Woodlawn Cemetery are scattered throughout, often located at key road intersections such as Dodd Rd and Blue Grass Rd. The map also details several smaller water bodies like Sleepy Eye Lake, Goose Lake, and Roemhildts Lake.
