About this map

Rice Lake sits at the center of this agricultural landscape along the border of Steele and Dodge Counties. This portion of southern Minnesota is defined by the headwaters of the Zumbro River system, including the Middle Fork Zumbro River and the S Br Middle Fork Zumbro River. The settlement of Claremont is established in the eastern portion of the map, served by a network of rural roads such as 620th St and Co Hwy 19. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is particularly dense with community landmarks, including the Aurora Lutheran Cem, Saint John's Lutheran Cem, and the German Methodist Episcopal Cem. These sites, along with smaller family or church plots like Thompson Cem and Hillside Cem, provide a precise record of the regional settlement pattern and the cultural heritage of the township inhabitants.
