About this map

The South Branch Root River carves a deep, winding valley through this part of Fillmore County, creating a landscape defined by sharp bluffs and complex hydrology. The town of Preston serves as a central hub, situated where the river meets Watson Cr and Willow Cr. This 2013 survey illustrates the area's agricultural identity, specifically through local specialized operations like Pine Tree Apple Orchards and the Preston Apple and Berry Farm.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites, including Saint Columbanus Cem and the Richland Prairie Presbyterian Cem, which anchor the rural countryside. The mapping of the Fillmore County Fairgrounds and the Peddlers Roost Campground points to the area's role as a regional gathering place, while the inclusion of the Old Barn Resort near Isinours highlights a modern economy increasingly tied to recreation and tourism along the river corridors.
