About this map

Rochester expands southward into the surrounding farmland of Olmsted County in this 2013 survey, where urban infrastructure meets a landscape shaped by the N Br Root River and its tributaries. The city's growth is evident around Golden Hill and the extensive grounds of the Rochester International Airport, while smaller outlying settlements like Simpson and Judge maintain their rural identity.

Genealogists can find significant local landmarks including Saint Bridget Cem, Fairview Cem, and Jerusalem Cem located along the township roads. The map also documents specialized land use, such as the Northern Turkey Farm and Camp Kahler, alongside recreational areas like the Oak Summit Golf Course. This record of the 21st-century landscape highlights the transition from traditional agriculture to modern municipal expansion along major corridors.
