About this map

The consolidated community of Elko and New Market serves as the focal point of this Scott County landscape, reflecting the suburban expansion into formerly rural Minnesota farmland. Residential growth is evident in the street grids surrounding these settlements, while legacy landmarks like the West Christiania Cem and the small hamlet of Eidswold provide historical anchors for local genealogists. The terrain is defined by a glacial marshland character, featuring the Pettit Wildlife Pond and Sweetbrier Lake in the north, alongside the drainage of the Credit River and the Vermillion River.

Transport and modern land use patterns are highlighted by the presence of the Sky Harbor Residential Airpark and the Interstate 35 corridor, which bisects the quadrangle. Further south, the map captures the rural intersections of Webster and Hazelwood near the triple border of Scott, Rice, and Dakota Counties. The proximity of Dutch Cr and Rice Lake illustrates the persistent importance of the region's hydrography even as the area transitions toward denser development.
