2013 Map of Luverne

About this map

Luverne and the surrounding Rock County landscape are defined by the Coteau des Prairies, an expansive plateau that rises here as a prominent quartzite escarpment known as The Mound. This 2013 survey illustrates the convergence of agriculture and conservation, centered on Blue Mounds State Park. The town of Luverne serves as the regional hub, with its street grid anchored by West Main Street and East Main Street, while the Rock River Reservoir provides a managed water source along the Rock River. Local heritage is well-documented through a high concentration of burial grounds, including the Norwegian Cem, Saint Catherines Cem, and Blue Mound Cem, offering clear data points for genealogists. Outlying features like Vans Dairy and the Verne Drive-In reflect the enduring rural and roadside character of this corner of southwestern Minnesota.
