2016 Map of Sleepy Eye

About this map

Sleepy Eye serves as the focal point of this Brown County landscape, situated just south of the waters of Sleepy Eye Lake. The town's layout is defined by a traditional grid of streets such as Walnut St SW and Linden St SE, with Saint Marys Cem and Home Cem located near the northern edge of the settlement. The surrounding prairie is heavily managed for drainage, marked by extensive systems like County Ditch Number Ten and County Ditch Number Thirteen, which feed into the meandering Cottonwood River as it cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle. Significant landmarks include the Sleepy Eye Municipal Airport south of town and the large Rose Lake Bed, indicating the historical transformation of local hydrology for agricultural land use.
