2016 Map of Mazeppa

About this map

Mazeppa and Bellechester anchor this 2016 survey of the undulating borderland between Goodhue and Wabasha Counties. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the N Fork Zumbro River, which feeds into the Zumbro River Reservoir near the heart of the settlement. The map provides significant detail for genealogists and local historians, documenting the exact locations of numerous burial grounds including Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Cem and Zumbrota East Cem. Agricultural land use is evident throughout, with the terrain falling away into Bear Valley in the northeast. Small-scale drainage features like Trout Brook and numerous unnamed tributaries have carved a complex network of ridges and hollows, dictating the placement of the rural road network and the boundaries of the Merlin Hadler property.
