2013 Map of New Ulm

About this map

New Ulm and its surrounding rural countryside are defined by a network of creeks and numerous small family and community burial grounds. This 2013 landscape is carved by watercourses including W Mill Cr and Sandy Cr, which drain toward the south and east. The map reveals a high concentration of cemeteries reflecting the area's deep-rooted family history, such as Shellburne Cem, Hoppe Cem, and the National Cem. While agricultural use remains evident through the dense system of farm-to-market roads like FM-109 and FM-2502, the presence of the New Ulm Oil Field in the southern portion of the quadrangle points to the importance of the energy industry. Small clusters of habitation at Nelsonville and New Bremen connect the landscape, while family names like Zettel and Frnka are permanently etched into the local geography.
