2013 Map of Nicollet

About this map

Nicollet anchors this agricultural and lacustrine landscape, where the town grid meets the junction of Us-14 and MN-99. The surrounding terrain is defined by the expansive and complex shoreline of Swan Lake, characterized by numerous named features such as Nicollet Bay, Peterson Bay, and Goose Point. This 2013 survey provides a detailed record of the region's managed waterways, illustrated by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure including County Ditch Number Seventy-eight and County Ditch Number Seventy-six. Genealogical interest is particularly high here, with several distinct burial sites including the Nicollet County Poor Farm Cem and the Mid Lake Catholic Cem. The map also captures local transportation and recreation points such as Hay Shakers Airport and the boat access at Poor Farm Landing, showing how the community interacts with the surrounding wetlands and prairie of Nicollet County.
