About this map

The Le Sueur River carves a winding path across the landscape of Blue Earth County, anchoring the small settlements of St. Clair and Pemberton. This survey illustrates the rural character of the region, where family history is etched into the landscape through numerous burial grounds such as McPherson Cem, Immaculate Conception Cem, and Bunker Hill Cem. The topography is defined by the water-rich geography of southern Minnesota, featuring Indian Lake in the north and the wetlands surrounding Rice Lake and the Little Cobb River.

A notable modern landmark, the Eagles Nest Aerodrome, sits in the northwest, contrasting with the established agricultural grid and traditional road names like Macintosh Rd. The presence of Railroad St in Pemberton points to the historical importance of rail transit in connecting these farming communities. This map serves as an excellent resource for genealogists tracing the Medo-McPherson area or searching for sites like Saint Johns Cem.
