About this map

The South Fork Zumbro River snakes through the heart of the landscape, defining the urban geography of Rochester as it flows north toward Silver Lake. This 2013 survey illustrates the extensive institutional and medical infrastructure synonymous with the region, including the Mayo Medical School and the Rochester Community and Technical College. Beyond the dense city grid, the terrain transitions into residential developments like Hallmark Terrace and the outlying settlement of Ringe.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the quadrangle, from the large Oakwood Cemetery near the city center to smaller sites like Fitch Cemetery and Boynton Cemetery. The map also captures significant recreational and community spaces, such as the Olmsted County Fairgrounds, Soldiers Field Golf Course, and Sekapp Orchard, reflecting a balance between civic development and the preserved agricultural character of the surrounding Hadley Valley.
