2016 Map of Miesville

About this map

Miesville serves as a central hub in this section of Dakota County, where the agricultural uplands transition into the more complex topography of Clark Valley. The survey reflects a landscape defined by its rural institutions and watercourses, most notably the Cannon River winding across the southern half of the sheet and the smaller Belle Cr in the southeast. Genealogists will find several significant burial grounds and parish sites, including the Saint Joseph Catholic Cem and the Cannon River Lutheran Church Cem, alongside the Cannon River Cem. The map illustrates the 21st-century road network, showing how historic section lines like 240th St E and Co Rd 91 continue to dictate the movement of people and goods through the prairie, even as modern additions like the River Ridge Ranch Airport appear on the landscape.
