About this map

Sherburn and Welcome anchor this Martin County landscape, where the modern grid of rural roads meets a complex network of glacial lakes and managed drainage. The local history of these prairie settlements is preserved through several community landmarks, including Sherburn City Cemetery, Saint Lukes Cemetery, and the Welcome Cemetery to the east. The geography is defined by prominent water bodies like Fox Lake, which features Weber Island, and the neighboring Temperance Lake just north of Sherburn's residential streets.

Agricultural adaptation is evident in the transition of the landscape over time, shown by the identified Munger Lakebed and Manyaska Lakebed. These former water bodies, along with engineered features like Judicial Ditch Number 37 and County Ditch Number 11, illustrate the extensive drainage efforts required to utilize this fertile region. The presence of Elm Creek Cemetery near Elm Creek further marks early burial sites tied to the area's pioneer farmsteads.
