2010 Map of Jordan West

About this map

The Minnesota River carves a broad valley through this landscape, defining the boundaries of agricultural land and early settlements. On the eastern edge, Jordan serves as a significant hub, anchored by the Jordan Post Office and the Scott County Fairgrounds. The town's historical roots are evident in the proximity of Spirit Hill Cemetery and the engineering of the Sand Creek Dam on the Sand Creek Reservoir. To the west, the rural character of the area is preserved in the small community of East Union and the scattered locations of pioneer-era burial grounds like the Swedish Lutheran Cemetery, Swedish Methodist Cemetery, and Augustana Cemetery. The presence of School Number 25 and the Stocker Landing Field highlights the transition between early 20th-century educational infrastructure and modern private aviation. This map captures a landscape of numerous glacial lakes and ponds, including Ahlswede Lake and Johnson Lake, which have historically influenced local road placement and land use.
