About this map

Essig sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in Brown County, where the plains are bisected by the winding courses of the Minnesota River and the Cottonwood River. The terrain transitions from the flat upland fields to the carved river valleys, a geography that defined the early settlement and transportation of the region. Just north of the river bluffs stands the Milford Monument, a significant landmark commemorating local history near the Nicollet County line.

On the eastern edge, the growth of New Ulm is represented by the presence of the New Ulm Municipal Airport and the convergence of major transit corridors like Us-14. Water features such as Clear Lake and School Lake dot the southern portion of the map, illustrating the glacial legacy of the area. This record provides a clear look at the mix of rural homesteads and established civic infrastructure at the start of the 2010s.
