About this map

Claremont sits at the eastern edge of this agricultural landscape along the boundary where Steele and Dodge counties meet. The area is defined by its water systems and scattered rural landmarks, including the central Rice Lake and the wetlands of Moonan Marsh to the south. Numerous small tributaries, such as Medford Creek, Maple Creek, and Dodge Center Creek, drain these fertile prairie lands, eventually joining larger flows like the Middle Fork Zumbro River.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the townships, reflecting the region's diverse immigrant and denominational history. These include the Aurora Lutheran Cem, Saint John's Lutheran Cem, and the German Methodist Episcopal Cem. Smaller community plots such as Dania Cem and Thompson Cem are situated alongside a network of county highways and range roads that have organized this territory since its initial survey.
