About this map

The settlement of Kilkenny sits at the heart of this landscape along the border of Le Sueur and Rice counties. This area is characterized by a high density of small, family-linked burial grounds and rural cemeteries that provide a rich resource for genealogical research. Sites such as Cordova Family Cem, Gregor Farm Cem, and Gish Cem are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the early homesteading patterns of the region.

Glacial lakes define the hydrology of the area, with Diamond Lake, Lake Dora, and Horseshoe Lake providing significant landmarks. The Cannon River and Little Cannon River snake through the plains, which are also home to legacy agricultural features like Madden's Orchard and the small communities of Doyle and Rogers. Primary transportation routes including MN-13 and Dodd Rd connect these rural outposts to the wider region.
