About this map

The South Fork Zumbro River winds through the heart of this landscape, anchoring a region defined by agricultural plots and conservation efforts in the mid-1970s. The small settlement of Salem Corners serves as a local crossroads, while the Rochester Municipal Airport dominates the southeastern corner, signaling the expanding infrastructure of the neighboring city. Rural education and local history are preserved in the locations of Bamber Valley Sch and Dee Sch, alongside the Riverside Cem near the riverbank.

Environmental stewardship is evident through the inclusion of the Keller State Wildlife Management Area and the Suess State Wildlife Management Area, which protect the creek-fed lowlands. The presence of numerous Quarries and a Gravel Pit indicates the local industrial activity focused on aggregate extraction, supporting the growth of the surrounding townships of Salem, Rochester, and High Forest.
