2013 Map of Sheldon
USGS Topo · Published 2013About this map
Beaver Cr and its tributaries carve a network of ridges and valleys through Houston County, anchoring the settlement of Sheldon and the industrial history at Schechs Mill. This area of southeastern Minnesota displays a landscape defined by its cemetery locations, which are often perched on high ground or tucked into valley floors, including the Old Sheldon Cem and the Houston County Poor Farm Cem. The topography influenced the early road network, with routes like Co HWY-10 and MN-76 following the contours of Hauge Ridge and Prairie Ridge Rd. In the southeastern corner, the outskirts of Caledonia emerge near the junction of MN-44, where several burial grounds, such as Evergreen Cem and Saint John's German Lutheran Cem, reflect the heritage of the local community.
