2010 Map of Ledyard

About this map

Ledyard and the smaller settlement of Gerled serve as the primary hubs in this northern Kossuth County landscape, defined by an extensive agricultural grid and a complex drainage system. The West Branch Blue Earth River meanders across the territory, its natural curves contrasting with the engineered precision of the Union Slough Ditch and Drainage Ditch Number 80. This network illustrates the intensive land management required for large-scale farming in the region. Local landmarks such as the Sacred Heart Cemetery and the Ledyard Post Office provide essential reference points for genealogists and local historians tracking family roots in this rural community. The map preserves the exact alignment of gravel roads like 150th Ave and 450th St as they appeared in the early 21st century.
