About this map

Lonsdale stands as the primary hub in this portion of Rice County, situated at the intersection of Central St W and Co Hwy 4. The landscape is defined by the dense concentration of glacial kettles and basins characteristic of the Minnesota lake country, featuring water bodies like Mazaska Lake, Shields Lake, and Phelps Lake. This 2019 survey documents the modern layout of the rural road grid, where long-standing community anchors like Trondjem and Wheatland remain points of reference for local heritage.

Local history is preserved at sites like Calvary Hill Cem near the town center and Saint Johns Cem to the east. The presence of the Tuma Private Airport and the network of township roads, such as 140th St W and Millersburg Blvd, illustrate the contemporary balance between agricultural land use and residential expansion. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for family plots and historic crossroads within the t112n r22w and t111n r22w townships.
