2013 Map of New Richland

About this map

The Le Sueur River and its tributary, the Little Le Sueur River, carve a winding path through this agricultural landscape in southern Minnesota. The town of New Richland stands as the primary hub, where the local Post Office and Calvary Cem are located. This area is characterized by its deep Lutheran heritage, evidenced by a high density of rural religious sites such as the Vista Swedish Lutheran Church Cem, Pontoppidan Lutheran Cem, and the Le Sueur River American Lutheran Church Cem. The small settlements of Otisco, Vista, and Lemond are connected by a grid of section roads like 295th Ave and MN-13, which navigate the terrain between glacial features like Saint Olaf Lake and Reese Lake. This survey provides a clear view of the longstanding land divisions and family-associated landmarks, including the Johnson Oakside Orchard, which reflect the region's enduring farming tradition.
