2013 Map of Madelia

About this map

Madelia sits at the heart of this landscape where the Watonwan River and its S Fork Watonwan River converge. The town's layout is well-documented, featuring a Po and the Madelia Golf Course, while the nearby Warren Truss Bridge spans the water. To the east and south, the terrain is defined by large depressions including Goose Lakebed, Lau Lakebed, and Hopkins Lakebed, suggesting a history of seasonal wetlands or former water bodies in this part of Watonwan County. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites surrounding the main settlement, including Madelia Cem, Riverside Cem, and Calvary Cem, along with rural outliers like Linden Cem near the northern border with Brown County and the Old Faith Lutheran Cem to the west. This 2013 survey provides a detailed view of the local infrastructure and the natural drainage patterns of Spring Brook and Elm Cr that shape the region's geography.
