About this map

Wells Creek and its many tributaries carve through this section of Goodhue County, defining a landscape marked by a dense concentration of religious and family burial grounds. The map reveals the deep roots of German settlement in the region, evidenced by the Old German Evangelical Cemetery, German Lutheran Cemetery, and German Methodist Cemetery. These sites, along with others like the Corfes Private Cemetery and West Florence Cemetery, indicate a well-established rural community organized around parish and family lineage.

Agricultural and local infrastructure is represented by the R Rusch Dam and a grid of rural thoroughfares such as Wiebusch Hill Rd and Valley View Rd. Waterways including Sugarloaf Creek, Clear Creek, and Gilbert Creek drain the surrounding heights, while names like Belvidere Union Cemetery reflect the local township identity. This 2010 survey provides a modern inventory of these enduring cultural landmarks and the natural drainage patterns of the area northwest of Lake City.
