2016 Map of Northfield

About this map

Saint Olaf Coll and Carleton Coll dominate the academic landscape of Northfield, anchoring this river-oriented community during the mid-2010s. The Cannon River serves as the central geographic spine, flowing through the heart of the city and expanding into the Cannon River Reservoir to the south. This survey illustrates the dense residential and institutional development of the college campuses compared to the neighboring community of Dundas and the smaller settlement of Waterford at the northern edge. Significant local history sites such as Oaklawn Cem and Calvary Cem are clearly demarcated on the eastern side of the river. The surrounding topography is defined by its drainage network, with Heath Cr, Wolf Cr, and Prairie Cr carving into the terrain as they seek the main river channel.
