2019 Map of Hamburg

About this map

Glacial lakes and rural farmsteads dominate this pocket of the Upper Midwest, where the border of Carver and Sibley Counties bisects a landscape of rich agricultural tradition. The town of Hamburg serves as a northern anchor, characterized by its residential grid and proximity to the Emanuel Lutheran Church Cem. The area is defined by its complex hydrology, with substantial water bodies like Washington Lake, Erin Lake, and the meandering Bevens Cr providing natural breaks in the rectangular township-and-range survey grid. Local history is deeply rooted in several community centers, including Green Isle and the settlement at Assumption. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, from established churchyards like Saint Paul's Evangelical Reformed Church Cem to smaller, private resting places such as the Bovy Family Cem. These sites, along with a network of country roads like Co Rd 50 and Cty Rd 33, reveal the enduring settlement patterns of these Minnesota prairies.
