About this map

The Cannon River and Straight River converge in Faribault, a regional hub in Rice County defined by its proximity to a chain of significant glacial lakes. This modern topographic survey illustrates the density of the city's residential and educational infrastructure, including the South Central College Faribault Campus. To the north and west, the landscape transitions into a mosaic of water bodies such as Roberds Lake, Dudley Lake, and Wells Lake, which have long shaped the recreational and geographic character of the area.

Genealogists will find a concentration of burial sites surrounding the city center, including Oak Grove Cem, Saint Lawrence Cem, and Calvary Cem. Transportation and aviation history are represented by the Faribault Municipal Airport-Liz Wall Strohfus Field and a network of county highways like Shieldsville Blvd and Morristown Blvd. The map also captures the outlying Woodman Cem and Meadow Ridge Memorial Park, providing a complete view of the municipal and rural boundaries.
