2016 Map of Kiester

About this map

Kiester and Walters anchor this portion of the Faribault County landscape, representing traditional agricultural settlements in southern Minnesota. The terrain is defined by a complex network of drainage and water management, notably Judicial Ditch Number Twentyfive and Judicial Ditch Number Twentysix, which support the surrounding farmland. These engineered waterways complement natural features like Brush Cr and the E Br Blue Earth River in the northeast. Genealogy researchers will find several well-preserved burial sites, including Saint Johns Cem, Fairview Cem, and the American Lutheran Church Cem south of the Kiester town site. The map reflects a highly organized grid of rural roads, such as Co RD 30 and Co HWY 15, that connect these small communities and their local landmarks.
