About this map

New Prague sits at the convergence of Scott, Le Sueur, and Rice counties, serving as a regional hub defined by its religious landmarks and agricultural surroundings. The landscape is dotted with Catholic heritage sites, including the prominent Saint Wenceslaus church and its associated Saint Wenceslaus Cem, alongside the outlying settlements of Saint Benedict and Saint Patrick. These communities are connected by a network of rural roads such as Helena Blvd and Baseline Blvd, which navigate a terrain carved by the Raven Stream and its various branches.

Water plays a central role in the geography here, with Pleasant Lake, Hickey Lake, and Cedar Lake providing natural focal points amidst the cultivated fields. To the south, the village of Heidelberg marks the edge of the survey area, while the engineering of the land is visible in features like County Ditch Number Sixty-two. This survey illustrates a modern Minnesota landscape where deep-rooted parish identities continue to anchor the township structure.
