About this map

Sherburn serves as the primary hub in this southern Minnesota landscape, concentrated near the southern shores of Temperance Lake. The settlement patterns here are deeply tied to the local hydrology, with the town's infrastructure supported by the Sherburn Post Office and several local burial grounds, including Saint Lukes Cemetery and Sherburne City Cemetery. The surrounding countryside is defined by a network of drainage systems such as Judicial Ditch Number Fifty and Judicial Ditch Number Thirtyseven, which reflect the region's agricultural adaptation to its naturally lake-rich terrain.

North of town, Fox Lake stands as a significant geographic feature, home to Weber Island and bordered by the Caven's Landing Campground. Evidence of the changing landscape appears in the Munger Lakebed and Manyaska Lakebed, while smaller water bodies like Lake Seymour, Round Lake, and Clam Lake are connected by the winding course of Elm Creek. Several rural cemeteries, such as Elm Creek Cemetery and Saint Paul's Evangelical Cemetery, are scattered across the section lines, providing valuable points of reference for local family history.
