About this map

Le Roy serves as the primary settlement on this borderland survey, situated just north of the State Line Rd dividing Minnesota and Iowa. The town's local history is anchored by its religious and civic sites, including the Saint Patricks Cem, Lutheran Cem, and the Le Roy Cem. These burial grounds sit near the southeastern edge of the township, providing essential records for genealogical research in Mower County.

The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Upper Iowa River as it flows southeast toward the state boundary, joined by the Little Iowa River. A significant local landmark, Lake Louise, sits just west of the town center, created by the widening of the river system. The surrounding terrain is organized by a strict grid of county roads and avenues, such as Co Hwy 8 and Co Rd 56, which supported the agricultural development of this prairie region.
