About this map

Saint Peter and Kasota dominate the banks of the Minnesota River in this 2013 topographic study. The landscape is defined by the sharp valley of the river and a concentration of civic and educational institutions, most notably the campus of Gustavus Adolphus Coll and the Nicollet County Fairgrounds. Several cemeteries, including Elim Welsh Cem to the north and the Pettis - Klaseus Family Cem to the south, provide valuable touchstones for family historians tracing the area's development.

Water features such as Lake Washington, Lake Emily, and Goldsmith Lake mark the eastern plateau, while the river's western banks are carved by Rogers Cr and Cherry Cr. Transport corridors like Us-169 and MN-22 facilitate modern transit, but the layout of streets like Dodd Rd and Old Fort Rd points to the region's older settlement patterns. The presence of Quarry Spg near Kasota hints at the local geology that has long supported the area's industry.
