About this map

New Ulm serves as the focal point of this 2010 survey, positioned at the strategic confluence where the Cottonwood River meets the Minnesota River. The city’s historic grid is densely detailed, featuring significant landmarks such as the Hermann Monument and the Way of the Cross. To the southwest, the expansive grounds of Flandrau State Park follow the winding course of the Cottonwood, while the Brown County Fairgrounds and New Ulm Municipal Airport mark the northern and western periphery.

North of the main settlement, the hamlet of Klossner is anchored by the Klossner Post Office and the Salem Methodist Cemetery, reflecting the rural character of the surrounding prairie. This map is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it identifies several distinct burial grounds including the Lutheran Cemetery, New Ulm City Cemetery, Catholic Cemetery, and Saint Josephs Cemetery. The agricultural landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems like County Ditch Number Seventyseven, supporting the region's productive farmland.
