About this map

Elko New Market and Webster anchor this landscape along the border of Scott and Rice Counties, showing the modern integration of rural settlements in southern Minnesota. The survey details a terrain defined by glacial features, including Rice Lake and the winding course of the Vermillion River. Local history is preserved through the locations of several community burial grounds, such as West Christiania Cem and Solor Lutheran Cem, which serve as landmarks for genealogists and researchers studying the region's Scandinavian heritage.

Modern land use is evident in the inclusion of the Sky Harbor Residential Airpark and numerous residential corridors. The map also records smaller, distinct localities like Eidswold and Hazelwood, situated near the intersection of the county lines with Dakota County. Waterways like Porter Cr and Dutch Cr drain the agricultural lands, connecting various wildlife areas like the Pettit Wildlife Pond.
