About this map

Elysian serves as the central hub of this lake-studded landscape on the border of Le Sueur and Waseca counties. The area is defined by a dense network of water bodies, from the expansive Lake Elysian in the south to Lake Francis and Tetonka Lake in the north. The presence of numerous family and community burial grounds, including Cedar Hill Cem, Round Lake Cem, and the Dehn Family Cem, indicates a long-settled rural community with deep genealogical roots.

Transport and recreation are intertwined throughout the quadrangle, with MN-60 providing the primary east-west artery through the settlements of Greenland and Elysian. The landscape is further marked by distinct points such as Sextons Point and Savages Point along the irregular shorelines, while aviation history is represented by Galler's Airport near the center of the sheet. The northern edge features the path of the Cannon River, which flows out of the lakes toward the northeast.
