About this map

New Ulm sits at the confluence of the Minnesota River and the Cottonwood River, serving as a cultural and educational hub in the early 1990s. The city's prominent German heritage is anchored by the Hermann Monument, while institutions like Martin Luther College, Cathedral High Sch, and St Marys Sch define the local skyline. The 1992 revisions show significant urban density along Broadway and Washington St, contrasted by the extensive recreation grounds of Flandrau State Park and Cottonwood Lake to the south.

Beyond the city limits, the landscape transitions to the agricultural reaches of Courtland and Lafayette, where drainage systems like Ditch No 74 and Ditch No 81 crisscross the plains. To the north, the small settlement of Klossner stands along the Chicago and North Western rail line and Fort Road, highlighting the region's historic transportation corridors that connected these river towns to the wider Minnesota prairie.
