2016 Map of Mayer

About this map

New Germany and Mayer anchor the southern reaches of this landscape, where the South Fork Crow River cuts through the glacial terrain of Carver County. This area is defined by a dense network of drainage engineering, including Judicial Ditch Number One, Judicial Ditch Number Four, and County Ditch Number Nine, which historically transformed the local wetlands into productive agricultural tracts. Small communities like Hollywood and Hazelton are central to the social fabric of the township system, often centered around long-standing institutions like Saint John's Lutheran Church and its accompanying Cemetary. The northern border with Wright County near Oster showcases a pocket of glacial lakes including Dog Lake, Lake Ida, and Pooles Lake. Transport and local aviation are represented by regional roads and private facilities such as Schumacher Airport and Ziermann Airport, reflecting the rural character of the region during this mid-2010s survey.
