About this map

The Middle Fork Zumbro River snakes through this landscape where Goodhue, Olmsted, and Wabasha counties meet. The settlement of Oronoco serves as a primary focal point, situated at a bend in the river near Shady Lake and the Oronoco Bridge. To the northwest, a portion of Pine Island is visible, connected to the surrounding townships by a dense grid of rural roads such as 135th St NW and Co Rd 11.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the preservation of several landmark sites, including the Oronoco Cem and the Saint Peter's German Lutheran Cem. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Dry Run Cr and Plum Cr, which feed into the larger Zumbro River system. This layout reflects a modern agricultural and residential landscape that still respects the boundaries of nineteenth-century land surveys.
