2019 Map of Freeborn

About this map

The town of Freeborn sits on the northern edge of Freeborn Lake, serving as a central hub in a landscape defined by its glacial hydrology and agricultural grids. This 2019 survey captures the intricate water network of the Cobb River and its tributaries, including Cobb Cr and the engineered Cobb Cr Ditch, which drain the surrounding prairie lands. The presence of smaller bodies like Trenton Lake and Spicer Lake north of the town center indicates the varied wetland terrain of the region. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies significant burial sites including the Freeborn Cem just outside the main settlement and the Seven Day Cem located further north near the banks of Trenton Lake. The boundary line between Waseca Co and Freeborn Co runs across the upper portion of the sheet, illustrating how these administrative borders bisect the natural flow of Boot Cr and the local township grids.
