2013 Map of High Forest

About this map

The High Forest settlement and the winding North Branch Root River define this rural landscape on the border of Olmsted and Mower counties. This 2013 survey illustrates the agricultural character of the region, where family and community roots are well-documented through a series of local burial grounds including High Forest Cem, Saint Johns Cem, Pleasant Valley Cem, and Immanuel Cem. The river system is a dominant geographic feature, with the N Br Root River and North Branch Root River cutting across the northern half of the map, eventually feeding into Lake Florence.
