About this map

Mankato and its eastern suburbs serve as the focal point of this regional study, illustrating the dense concentration of educational and civic institutions that define the city. The landscape is marked by prominent campuses such as Minnesota State University-Mankato and Bethany Lutheran Coll, alongside residential expansions like Belle Haven and Knollwood Park. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its documentation of numerous burial grounds, including the Old Masonic Cem, Good Counsel Cem, and the more remote Sugar Grove Cem near the Le Sueur County line.

The topography transitions from the urban development of the city to the lake-studded plains of the east. Water features like Wita Lake and Eagle Lake dominate the eastern half, while the Le Sueur River winds through the southern section of the map. Industrial and infrastructure footprints are clearly visible, from the Mankato Regional Airport to the intricate road network including Madison Ave and Leray Ave, which connect the main city to outlying areas like Eagle Lake Regency.
