About this map

The settlement of Kiester serves as a focal point in this 1980s landscape, positioned near the intersection of the Chicago and North Western railroad and several local drainage networks. This southern Minnesota terrain is defined by its agricultural and hydraulic engineering, prominently featuring Judicial Ditch No 25 and Judicial Ditch No 26 alongside the East Branch Blue Earth River. Small rural hubs like Walters are situated among a patchwork of gravel pits and airstrips, such as the Passer Landing Strip.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of religious and memorial sites, including St Johns Cem, Fairview Cem, and the American Lutheran Ch Cem. The presence of the American Lutheran Ch and Gospel Ch within the town center reflects the community's mid-century social structure. This survey effectively documents the boundary lines between Faribault Co, Freeborn Co, and Winnebago Co at the Minnesota and Iowa state line.
