2019 Map of Preston

About this map

The South Branch Root River carves through the landscape of central Fillmore County, defining the drainage patterns around the valley town of Preston. This modern survey reveals a dense concentration of civic and memorial sites, including the Southeastern Minnesota State Veterans Cem and several older burial grounds like Crown Hill Cem and Greenwood Cem. To the northwest, the settlement of Fountain serves as a local hub near the Fountain Cem, while the hamlet of Isinours sits near the confluence of the river branches. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features such as Watson Cr and Camp Cr, which flow through the dissected uplands toward the river. Transportation corridors like Co Hwy 8 and Minnesota Rd NW connect these rural communities, illustrating the enduring layout of this agricultural and riverine region.
