2013 Map of Hamburg

About this map

Hamburg and the smaller settlement of Assumption anchor this rural landscape along the border of Carver and Sibley Counties. The map reveals a high density of burial grounds reflecting the area's diverse early religious roots, from the Emanuel Lutheran Church Cem to the Bovy Family Cem and the Saint Paul's Evangelical Reformed Church Cem. The terrain is defined by a complex network of wetlands and drainage systems, including the Judicial Ditch Number Three A and the County Ditch Number Twentyfive A, which manage the water levels of Washington Lake and Erin Lake. This agricultural grid, intersected by state routes like MN-5 and MN-25, illustrates the ongoing balance between farming and the preservation of central Minnesota's lake-heavy topography.
