2022 Map of Sargeant

About this map

Sargeant and Waltham sit within a landscape of productive agricultural land and winding prairie waterways near the boundary of Dodge and Mower counties. This modern survey documents a rural environment organized by a rigid grid of county roads and avenues, such as Co Hwy 15 and 600 Ave. The area’s spiritual and community history is marked by the Saint John's Lutheran Cem and Waltham Cem, which serve as primary landmarks for local genealogists. The terrain is defined by the headwaters and branches of several drainage systems, including the southward-flowing Cedar River in the northwest and the N Br Root River in the southeast. These waterways, along with Roberts Cr, illustrate the subtle relief of the southern Minnesota plains and the foundational role of water management in this farming region.
