About this map

The city of New Auburn occupies a central position on this Sibley County landscape, where the local post office Po serves a community defined by its proximity to several large water bodies. The terrain is characterized by a high concentration of wetlands and basin features, including the sprawling High Island Lake and Schilling Lake. Several notable dried basins are also mapped, such as Berge Lakebed, Brewster Lakebed, and Thoneys Lakebed, indicating a landscape that has undergone significant hydrological changes over time.

Drainage and irrigation patterns are evident through engineered waterways like County Ditch Number Twelve A and Judicial Ditch Number Nineteen, which feed into natural systems such as Buffalo Cr and High Island Cr. To the east, rural industry is represented by Sunshine Dairy, while the northern border is defined by the major corridor of Us-212 passing through the Mcleod Co and Sibley Co line. This survey captures a mix of residential settlement and specialized agricultural land use in the early twenty-first century.
