About this map

The Root River and its South Branch carve a winding course through this portion of Fillmore County, dictating the layout of the primary settlements. Lanesboro serves as a central hub, where the river's geography supports recreation at sites like the Sylvan Park Campground and Eagle Cliff. The transition from river valley to the surrounding plateaus is marked by a network of rural roads such as Old Whalan Rd and Slab Valley Rd, which connect outlying homesteads and agricultural lands to the river towns.

Genealogists can find several established burial grounds, including Lanesboro Cem, Holt Cem, and Saint Patrick's Catholic Cem. To the northeast, the smaller village of Whalan sits along the riverbank, intersected by the River State Trl. The map also details the smaller tributaries that feed the main river system, such as Duschee Cr and Gribben Cr, highlighting a landscape defined by its well-developed drainage and long-standing river-oriented communities.
