The Minnesota River and Cottonwood River converge near the heart of New Ulm, defining the geography of this regional hub in the late 2010s. The city's grid is dense with local history, featuring Martin Luther College and several denominational burial grounds including the Catholic Cem, Lutheran Cem, and the New Ulm City Cem. North of the main settlement, the hamlet of Klossner sits at a crossroads near the Salem Methodist Cem, surrounded by a landscape drained by engineered waterways like County Ditch Number 77. This survey illustrates the modern layout of the New Ulm Municipal Airport and the complex interaction between the river bluffs and the surrounding agricultural sections. Farther south, the Saint Josephs Cem remains a quiet landmark along the winding path of the Minnesota River, while the numerous county ditches highlight the intensive land management required for the area's prairie-edge farms.
