About this map

The small lakeside communities of Greenland and Elysian anchor this 2016 survey along the boundary of Le Sueur and Waseca Counties. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes, including the sprawling Lake Francis and the dual-labeled waters of Elysian Lake and Lake Elysian. Prominent shoreline features such as Clarks Point, Sextons Point, and Savages Point illustrate the irregular topography shaped by the region’s hydrology. Near the town of Elysian, the terrain includes the notable Dove Lakebed and Klondike Hill, while the Cannon River flows through the northeastern corner past Tetonka Lake.

Genealogists will find several family and community burial sites across the township, including Dehn Family Cem, Cannonville Cem, and the Okaman Cem near the eastern edge. Transport and utility are evidenced by Galler's Airport and a dense system of local routes like Scenic Hideaway Ln Ne and Beaver Dam Rd. The map also captures the northern outskirts of Janesville, providing a modern look at how these established settlements interact with the significant wetland and lake systems of southern Minnesota.
