2010 Map of Eyota

About this map

Eyota and Dover anchor this portion of Olmsted County, positioned along the northern edge where the South Fork Whitewater River winds eastward. The landscape is defined by a dense grid of rural roads and agricultural plots, punctuated by small but significant family and community landmarks. Researchers will find several burial grounds including Evergreen Cemetery near Dover and the uniquely named Edith Wright Farm Cemetery further south. The hydrography is surprisingly active for this prairie terrain, with Crow Spring feeding from the north while Mill Creek and Lynch Creek drain the southern sections toward the Olmstead County Road 10 Dam. This era of the region’s development shows a transition from traditional rail-stop towns into more integrated rural-residential communities, evidenced by the clustered footprints of Thomas Field and the central Eyota Post Office.
