2019 Map of Hartland

About this map

Hartland and Bath anchor this landscape at the intersection of Freeborn, Waseca, and Steele Counties in southern Minnesota. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Le Sueur River and numerous agricultural drainage systems like County Ditch Number Fortysix. A significant geological feature, the Mule Lakebed, provides insight into the region's post-glacial drainage patterns and land use history. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved here, including Saint Aldens Cem near Bath and the West Freeborn Cem in the southwestern section. The map illustrates a highly organized rural grid of township roads such as 685th Ave and 300th St, which trace the boundaries of long-established farmsteads across the fertile prairie.
