Delavan sits at the southern edge of this Minnesota landscape, where the agricultural grid meets an intricate system of prairie lakes and drainage networks. The region is defined by its transition from open water to cultivated land, visible in the proximity of Rice Lake and Bass Lake to the broad Jackson Lakebed. This survey provides a precise look at the rural infrastructure of Faribault and Blue Earth counties, noting the path of Judicial Ditch Number Forty-nine as it manages the local hydrology. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of several rural burial grounds, including the West Lutheran Cem, East Lutheran Cem, and the Rice Lake Cem, which speak to the area's early Lutheran settlement patterns and local family histories near Rice Cr.
