Elmore sits at the southern edge of Faribault County, serving as a key border settlement along the North-South corridor of Us-169. The landscape is a testament to agricultural engineering, defined by an intricate network of drainage systems like County Ditch Number Thirtyone and Judicial Ditch Number Thirteen that manage the low-lying prairie land. These man-made channels intersect with the natural winding courses of the Blue Earth River and its various branches, including the Middle Br Blue Earth River and W Br Blue Earth River. Local infrastructure is anchored by the Blue Earth Municipal Airport to the north and the village of Marna. For family historians, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Riverview Cem near the town center and the more isolated Saint Johns Cem and Dobson Cem tucked into the rural sections.
