About this map

Saint Columbkill's Catholic Church Cem stands as a central landmark in this agricultural landscape of Goodhue County, marking the cultural and religious roots of the rural community. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Hay Cr and Spring Cr, which cut through the high ground south of the Mississippi River valley. This 2022 survey illustrates the enduring layout of township roads and section lines that have organized these uplands since the initial 19th-century settlement.

Small hubs like Ryan and Claybank represent the dispersed nature of local commerce, while the town of Goodhue serves as the primary population center in the southeast. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed regarding burial sites, including Hope Cem, Zion Cem, Swedish Cem, and Evergreen Cem. The inclusion of the Sodbuster Strip landing area underscores the continued importance of aviation in managing the broad stretches of farmland that dominate the quadrangle.
