2013 Map of Le Center

About this map

Le Center serves as the focal point of this rural landscape, situated just north of MN-99 in a region defined by its dense network of lakes and managed water systems. The map reveals an intricate drainage pattern characterized by numerous named ditches, such as County Ditch Number Fortyfive and County Ditch Number Twentyone, which support the surrounding agricultural tracts. Small communities like Heidelberg and Lexington anchor the townships, while a high concentration of religious and historical sites, including Saint Scholastica Cem and Saint Marys Cem, provides a detailed record of local family heritage. The terrain is marked by significant water bodies like Clear Lake and School Lake, with the Le Sueur County Fairgrounds indicating a central hub for regional social life. This survey documents the intersection of natural glacial lakes and the human engineering required to maintain the productive land of Le Sueur County.
