About this map

The Blue Earth River and its multiple branches define the agrarian landscape of southern Faribault County in this 2010 survey. The settlement of Elmore sits at the southern edge of the map near the Iowa border, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural area with the Elmore Post Office and nearby Riverview Cemetery. The landscape is intricately partitioned by a grid of numbered roads and an extensive network of managed waterways, including Judicial Ditch Number Thirteen and County Ditch Number Fortyone, reflecting the area's long-standing reliance on engineered drainage for agricultural productivity.

Further north, the Blue Earth Municipal Airport and the small community of Marna provide additional points of interest for local historians. Family and community heritage is anchored by sites such as Dobson Cemetery and Saint Johns Cemetery, which are distributed among the fields and tributaries like Coon Creek. This documentation captures the intersection of natural river systems—such as the West Branch Blue Earth River and Middle Branch Blue Earth River—with the structured township road system.
