About this map

The city of Kilkenny anchors this rural landscape at the border of Le Sueur and Rice Counties, where the Cannon River and Little Cannon River flow through a region dense with glacial lakes. This 2019 survey documents a deeply rooted agricultural community, evidenced by numerous small family and parish burial sites such as the Gregor Farm Cem, Cordova Family Cem, and Gish Cem north of the settlement at Rogers.

Hydrological features define the terrain, from the large expanse of Lake Dora near Doyle to smaller bodies like Diamond Lake and Sunfish Lake. The map illustrates a developed road network including Kilkenny Rd and several county highways that connect these disparate farmsteads and lakefront areas. Genealogists will find the distribution of these cemeteries and named settlements helpful for identifying the historic footprint of early families in the area south of the river.
