About this map

Lund and the surrounding rural landscape of Pierce County are defined by a series of deep coulees and elevated ridges in this 2010 survey. The terrain is characterized by steep bluffs and valleys such as Brunner Valley and Rush Coulee, which direct the flow of Plum Creek and Elk Creek toward the Mississippi basin. Cultural landmarks reflect a long-standing agricultural community, with named junctions like Barry Corner and Hawkins Corner serving as local focal points along the county highway network.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, including the Lund Methodist Cemetery, Mission Covenant Cemetery, and Sabylund Cemetery. These sites, along with family-named features like Alberts Bluff and Hellsing Bluff, provide a clear picture of the area's settlement patterns and heritage. The map also captures modern infrastructure like the Eugene Helmueller Group Dam, illustrating the continued management of the local watershed.
