2022 Map of Hamburg

About this map

Hamburg and the small community of Assumption anchor this landscape in Carver County, where the topography is defined by glacial depressions and agricultural drainage systems. The map shows a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies, including Washington Lake, Erin Lake, and the aptly named Assumption Lake. The transition from natural drainage to engineered waterways is evident through features like Judicial Ditch Number Three and County Ditch Number Four, which channel water across the township lines toward Bevens Cr. This 2022 survey illustrates the persistence of these rural Minnesota settlements and their enduring relationship with the surrounding prairie-pothole terrain, providing a clear record of modern property boundaries, local road networks, and the hydrologic connections that have shaped the region's farming heritage for generations.
