About this map

London sits at the heart of this rural southern Minnesota landscape, where the agricultural grid of Freeborn and Mower counties meets. The settlement is anchored by a Po (Post Office) and serves as a focal point for a surrounding community defined by multi-generational family landmarks. The area's history is preserved in several small burial grounds scattered across the townships, including the Kennevan Family Cem, London Cem, and Deer Creek Cem.

Water management and drainage are central to this prairie environment, evidenced by the intricate system of creeks and man-made channels. The Cedar River flows through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries such as Orchard Cr, Woodbury Cr, and Mud Lake Cr. The presence of the Judicial Ditch Number Seventyseven highlights the long-standing efforts to reclaim and maintain productive farmland. Near the center, Radloff's Cedar View Farms Airport provides a modern aeronautical touch to the traditional farming landscape.
