2013 Map of Jordan West

About this map

The Minnesota River carves a wide alluvial path through the center of this landscape, separating the village of East Union on the northern bluffs from the town of Jordan to the southeast. This 2013 topographic data captures a region defined by its glacial history, evidenced by a dense concentration of wetlands and water bodies such as Louisville Swamp, Kelly Lake, and Johnson Lake. The map reveals a strong Scandinavian heritage through local landmarks, including the Augustana Cem, Swedish Lutheran Cem, and Swedish Methodist Cem. Aviation and recreation also shape the modern geography here, with the Stocker Private Airport, Merrill L Harris Field Airport, and the Scott County Fairgrounds occupying significant acreage. The natural descent of the river is marked by the Carver Rapids, while the local economy and transport are traced along Johnson Memorial Dr and the older Old Highway 169 Blvd.
