About this map

Lonsdale and the surrounding Rice County landscape are defined by a dense concentration of kettle lakes and agricultural townships. This 2022 survey documents the contemporary extent of the city, while also preserving the locations of smaller historic centers like Wheatland and Trondjem. The presence of Calvary Hill Cem and Saint Johns Cem provides essential touchpoints for genealogical research in this part of Minnesota.

A network of glacial water bodies, including Cody Lake, Duban Lake, and Shields Lake, punctuates the terrain, which is primarily organized by a grid of rural roads and larger arteries such as Shieldsville Blvd. To the southwest, Tuma Airport serves as a local aviation landmark, while the southern boundary of the map includes the northern shore of Mazaska Lake. This modern record effectively captures the enduring rural character of the region, where family-named roads like Judge Ave and Jasper Ave continue to delineate property and community boundaries.
