About this map

The Minnesota River carves a deep valley across this landscape, serving as the physical boundary between Nicollet and Blue Earth Counties. Centered in this riparian corridor is the unincorporated community of Judson, where Railroad St and local tracks parallel the river's course. The surrounding upland is defined by a dense concentration of early burial sites, including Jerusalem Cem, Hebron Cem, and Trinity Cem, which anchor the rural landscape and suggest the locations of early congregational centers.

Hydrological features are prominent throughout the region, from the Swan Lake Outlet and McGibbons Lake in the north to the sprawling wetlands of Mennenga Lake and Rush Lake to the south. This 2019 survey documents a landscape of precise drainage systems like County Ditch Number Eleven, and a complex rural road network consisting of township roads and section-line paths such as 208th St and Hill Top Ln.
