About this map

Faribault serves as the focal point of this Rice County landscape, where the confluence of the Straight River and the Cannon River historically shaped the city's development. The map reveals an intricate network of waterways and glacial lakes, including the expansive Roberds Lake and Wells Lake, which define the region's recreation and hydrology. To the north, the Cannon River Reservoir illustrates the management of the local river system as it winds toward the east.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of regional burial sites, from the centrally located Oak Grove Cem and Saint Lawrence Cem to the outlying Woodman Cem. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is well-represented by the Faribault Municipal Airport and the complex interchange of Shieldsville Blvd and MN-21, reflecting the area's role as a regional transportation hub between agricultural lands and the growing municipal center.
