About this map

Le Center serves as the seat of government for Le Sueur County, anchoring a landscape defined by glacial lakes and an intricate system of drainage channels. The town layout is characterized by a formal grid of streets including W Minnesota St and E Sharon St, situated just south of the winding Le Sueur Cr. This area preserves several historical burial sites that serve as records of the region's early Catholic and pioneer heritage, such as Saint Scholastica Cem in the north and Saint Marys Cem near the town center.

Agricultural management is evident in the numerous engineered waterways, including County Ditch Number Fortyfive and County Ditch Number Twentyone, which thread between natural water bodies like Clear Lake and Sauter Lake. The smaller hamlet of Lexington remains a distinct landmark at a rural crossroads, while the presence of Yankee Cem and Greenwood Union Cem provides significant data points for local family historians.
