2019 Map of Morristown

About this map

Morristown sits at a crossroads of water and transport in this 2019 survey, where the Cannon River flows eastward toward the town's center. The landscape is defined by its complex glacial hydrology, featuring numerous wetlands and basins including Sakatah Lake, Sprague Lake, and Hands Marsh. This region, where Rice, Waseca, and Steele Counties converge, maintains a rural character dominated by a dense grid of township roads. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating several distinct burial grounds that speak to the area's denominational history, such as Blooming Grove Methodist Cem and Corpus Christi Catholic Cem. The drainage patterns of Waterville Cr and Mackenzie Cr further illustrate the low-lying, water-rich terrain of southern Minnesota, where agricultural fields are punctuated by pockets of marshland and seasonal creeks like Devil Cr.
