About this map

The Minnesota River carves a deep, winding valley through this region, creating a dramatic landscape where the uplands of Maple Ridge overlook the fertile river bottomlands. This modern survey illustrates the enduring agricultural and township patterns of Sibley, Scott, and Le Sueur counties. The settlement of Henderson serves as a focal point, situated at the base of the western bluffs near the mouth of Rush River.

Further north, the historic parish of Jessenland and the community of Le Sueur in the southeast corner define the river's influence on local development. Genealogists can identify several local burial sites, including Saint Joseph Cem, Saint Thomas Cem, and Brown Cem. The map reveals a complex network of tributaries such as High Island Cr and Buffalo Cr, which flow toward the central river valley, while Silver Lake sits quietly in the northwestern prairie lands.
