About this map

The Minnesota River snakes through the eastern portion of this landscape, its winding course defining the geography near the city of Henderson. As of 2010, the river's floodplains and oxbows are flanked by a network of drainage and tributaries, including Buffalo Creek and the Rush River to the south, and High Island Creek flowing through the center. The High Island Creek Dam stands near the western edge of the quadrangle, while Silver Lake dominates the northwest corner.

Genealogists and local historians will find several key landmarks preserved here, such as Saint Joseph Cemetery and Brown Cemetery near the city center, and Saint Thomas Cemetery located further north along Jessenland Rd. The settlement of Jessenland remains a focal point along the Scenic Byway Rd, reflecting the persistent rural character of Le Sueur County. Important community sites like the Henderson Post Office and Allansons Park anchor the local social geography along the river banks.
