About this map

Faribault sits at the confluence of the Cannon River and the Straight River, serving as a central hub for Rice County. The landscape is defined by its glacial history, featuring a chain of significant water bodies including Roberds Lake, Wells Lake, and Dudley Lake to the west. This 2016 survey illustrates the modern layout of the city, from the Faribault Municipal Airport in the north to the residential expansion near Meadow Ridge Memorial Park.

Genealogists will find a wealth of records in the numerous burial grounds documented here, such as Oak Grove Cem, Saint Lawrence Cem, and Woodman Cem. The map also captures the local hydrography, showing how Wolf Cr and Mackenzie Cr feed into the larger river systems that once powered the region's industry. Small settlements like Warsaw to the southwest provide a look at the rural communities that support the larger county seat.
