About this map

The agricultural landscape of Blue Earth County is defined by its complex drainage network and the quiet presence of early pioneer legacy. The Cobb River and Little Cobb River meander through the prairie, joined by smaller tributaries like Bull Run Cr and man-made alterations such as Judicial Ditch Number Fiftyone. These watercourses dictate the placement of farms and cemeteries that serve the surrounding rural community. Genealogists will find a cluster of burial grounds marking early settlement nodes, including Medo Center Cem, Danville Cem, and Saint John's Cem. Large bodies of water like Cottonwood Lake and Severson Lake break up the grid of section lines and county roads, while the Blue Earth County and Waseca County border runs along the eastern edge, delineating the jurisdictional boundaries of these southern Minnesota townships.
