2016 Map of Mapleton

About this map

Mapleton stands as the primary hub of this southern Minnesota landscape, where the town’s grid is anchored by several local landmarks including Union Cem and Calvary Cem. The surrounding terrain is defined by the wandering paths of the Cobb River and the Maple River, which cut through a predominantly agricultural region. These waterways, along with the Little Cobb River, drain into local basins such as Perch Lake and Knights Lake, reflecting the post-glacial topography typical of Blue Earth County. Genealogists will find particular value in the scattered rural burial sites, such as Beauford Cem to the northeast and Chase Cem near the southwestern bend of the Maple River, which mark the locations of early area settlements and farmsteads.
