About this map

The community of Madison Lake sits at the heart of this lake-strewn landscape, where the irregular shorelines of Duck Lake, Ballantyne Lake, and Gilfillin Lake define the local geography. This 2019 survey documents a region where Blue Earth, Le Sueur, and Waseca counties meet, anchored by small settlements like Marysburg to the north and Smiths Mill to the southeast. The map reveals a dense concentration of historical burial sites, including the Church of the Immaculate Conception Cem and Smith's Mill Cem, which provide valuable touchpoints for genealogical research.

Along the western edge, the city of Eagle Lake is shown near the Le Sueur River, with the Eagles Nest Aerodrome marking a modern navigational landmark. The area is characterized by its glacial hydrology, with numerous smaller basins like Born Lake and Alice Lake punctuating the agricultural grid. Local landmarks such as Mankato Spring and the winding Washington Blvd offer specific points of interest for those tracing family property or local infrastructure at the end of the 2010s.
