About this map

Sherburn and the nearby village of Welcome anchor this survey of south-central Minnesota, where the prairie landscape is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and drainage systems. The town of Sherburn is meticulously detailed, showing the residential grid from W 1st St to E 5th St, while local heritage is preserved at sites like the Sherburne City Cem and Saint Lukes Cem.

A complex hydrological system dominates the township, characterized by major bodies like Fox Lake and Temperance Lake, alongside evidence of environmental change seen in the Munger Lakebed and Manyaska Lakebed. These dry lakebeds, along with engineered features such as Judicial Ditch Number Thirtyseven, illustrate the long-term management of the region's water table for agriculture. To the north, family and local history are marked by the Elm Creek Cem and natural landmarks like Weber Island and Rooney Ruh.
