About this map

Owatonna sits at the eastern edge of this Steele County landscape, where the Straight River flows northward toward the Owatonna Degner Regional Airport. The terrain reflects a transition between established municipal development and the rural grid of the surrounding townships. To the south, the small settlement of Saco serves as a local landmark near the Bohemian Cem, while the western portions of the map are defined by significant hydrological features including the Pelican Lake Bed and Swan Lake.

Genealogists will find several family and community burial grounds scattered across the countryside, such as Lincoln Cem, Mueller Cem, and Lemond Cem. The map illustrates a dense network of county roads and streets, including Lemond Rd and Co Hwy 18, which link the various agricultural sections. The drainage patterns of Turtle Cr and Crane Cr further define the local geography, showing how the natural waterways intersect with the human-made road system.
