2022 Map of Simpson

About this map

Rochester expands southward in this recent survey of Olmsted County, where urban development meets the agricultural reaches of the N Br Root River and Whitney Cr watersheds. The map details the significant footprint of the Rochester International Airport in the southwest, anchoring the local transportation infrastructure alongside major routes like Marion Rd SE. Historically significant sites for genealogists include Saint Bridget Cem, Fairview Cem, and Jerusalem Cem, which mark earlier community centers near the hamlets of Simpson and Judge. The landscape is defined by the transition from the city's residential streets, such as those around Golden Hill, to the wooded drainages of Willow Cr and Badger Run, revealing how modern suburban growth navigates the established hydrological network of southeastern Minnesota.
