About this map

Delavan serves as the primary hub of this agricultural landscape in Faribault County, situated along MN-109. The map illustrates a region defined by its water management and faith-based community foundations. A network of drainage systems, including the formally named Judicial Ditch Number Forty-nine, connects the natural hydrology of Rice Lake, Bass Lake, and Lura Lake, while Rice Cr meanders through the central terrain.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, including Jackson Lake Cem, W Lutheran Cem, E Lutheran Cem, and Rice Lake Cem, which speak to the early settlement patterns of the area. Public recreation is noted at the Daly Park Campground in the northeast. The border between Blue Earth Co and Faribault Co bisects the northern portion of the map, marking a significant administrative boundary in this southern Minnesota prairie district.
