2019 Map of Moland

About this map

Moland sits at the intersection of four counties, where the agricultural plains of southern Minnesota are divided by the jurisdictional boundaries of Rice, Goodhue, Steele, and Dodge. This landscape is defined by its rural grid, with long stretches of gravel and paved roads like Co Hwy 19 and Co Rd 80 cutting through the rolling terrain. The area's history is anchored by the Moland Cem and Merton Cem, which serve as permanent markers of the farming families who settled these sections. Natural drainage is provided by the winding Rush Cr and the Middle Fork Zumbro River, which break the geometric precision of the farm plots. The proximity of these watercourses to the road network highlights the historical importance of local water management and access in a region dedicated to large-scale cultivation.
