About this map

The Minnesota River meanders along the eastern edge of this 2013 survey, forming the natural boundary between Sibley, Scott, and Le Sueur Counties. The city of Henderson sits in the valley at the junction of MN-19 and MN-93, where the landscape transitions from the river's floodplain to the dissected bluffs carved by tributaries. To the north, the small settlement of Jessenland is positioned near the winding path of High Island Cr, which cuts through the high ground alongside Buffalo Cr.

Genealogists will find several local burial sites documented, including Saint Thomas Cem on the northern bluffs and Saint Joseph Cem near the town center. Public spaces like Allansons Park and water bodies such as Silver Lake provide key geographic context for the region's rural character. The map also traces the drainage of the Rush River in the south, illustrating the intricate network of creeks that define this portion of the river valley.
