2010 Map of Pine Island

About this map

Pine Island sits at the convergence of the North Branch Middle Fork Zumbro River and the Middle Fork Zumbro River, anchoring this 2010 topographic study of the southeastern Minnesota landscape. The town's layout is centered around the Pine Island Post Office and extends toward the Pine Island Cemetery to the northeast. Beyond the municipal borders, the terrain is defined by a dense grid of rural routes including County Hwy-11 and County Hwy-27, which connect several family-linked landmarks and smaller burial grounds. Genealogists will find interest in the widely dispersed rural cemeteries, such as the Free Mission Cemetery, County Line Cemetery, and Milton Cemetery. Water management is prominent throughout the watershed, noted by structures like the Alberts- Rueg Group Dam and the La Moyne Bruce Detention Dam, which control the flow of Harkcom Creek and Plum Creek as they feed into the Zumbro river system.
