2016 Map of Minnesota Lake

About this map

The settlement of Minnesota Lake sits at the junction of three counties—Blue Earth, Faribault, and Waseca—marking a high-water point of agricultural and transportation development in southern Minnesota. This landscape is defined by its water systems and rural burial grounds, reflecting the deep-seated communal history of the region. Local genealogy is anchored by several sites, including Oak Grove Cem, Saint John Cem, and Peace Cem clustered near the town, while the outlying Zions Cem and Schermerhorn Cem serve the broader farming townships. The Maple River and Cobb River wind through the prairie terrain, providing natural drainage for the vast grid of local roads and farmsteads. Near the lake's eastern shore, the B & D Flyers International Airport and Railway Dr indicate the ongoing importance of regional transit and connectivity for this tri-county borderland.
