2010 Map of Sanborn

About this map

The Cottonwood River meanders across this Redwood County landscape, anchoring the village of Sanborn, which serves as the primary hub of activity. The map reveals a structured rural environment defined by a grid of agricultural roads, including County Hwy-15 and County Hwy-11, that connect outlying homesteads to the town center. Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant burial grounds, notably the Germantown Evangelical United Methodist Cemetery and the Lamberton Cemetery on the western edge. Within the town limits, the Sanborn Post Office remains a central landmark. The drainage system is heavily influenced by seasonal waterways like Dutch Charley Creek and Dry Creek, illustrating the natural topography that shaped early settlement patterns in this part of Minnesota.
