About this map

Montgomery serves as the central hub of this landscape at the border of Le Sueur and Rice Counties, where a grid of rural roads and drainage infrastructure supports the surrounding agricultural district. The town’s history is anchored by its local landmarks, including the centrally located Calvary Cemetery and the more distant Bohemian Cemetery to the southwest, reflecting the heritage of early settlers in the region. To the northwest, the small settlement of Heidelberg sits along County Ditch Number Forty-Four.

The terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial basins and managed waterways, such as Rice Lake, Lake Sanborn, and Lake Pepin. The presence of numerous engineered channels like County Ditch Number Thirty and County Ditch Number Forty-Five illustrates a landscape heavily modified for drainage. This collection of water bodies, including Greenleaf Lake and Dietz Lake, creates a distinct mosaic of wetlands and prairie across the townships of t112n r23w and t111n r23w.
