2022 Map of Heron Lake
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
Heron Lake dominates this Southwestern Minnesota landscape, where the namesake town of Heron Lake sits at the northern tip of an expansive wetland complex. The map reveals a highly managed hydrologic system, including Judicial Ditch Number Two, Jack Cr, and Division Creek, which drain the surrounding agricultural plains into the lake basin. Further north, the Des Moines River cuts across the prairie, accompanied by the Des Moines River Tr. Local heritage is anchored by several distinct burial grounds, including Lakeside Cem near the water's edge, Sacred Heart Cem, and Springfield Cem. To the southwest, the small settlement of Miloma marks a historic rail junction, while the grid of section lines and county roads like Co HWY 9 and Co RD 80 illustrate the persistent structure of the region's farming economy.
