About this map

Stewartville anchor this 2016 survey of the rolling farmland where Olmsted, Mower, and Fillmore counties meet. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the M Br Root River and its tributaries, including Kedron Cr and Bear Cr. These waterways historically dictated the placement of early settlements like Hamilton and Racine, which sit along the southern reaches of the map.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, such as Woodlawn Cem, Saint Bernard Cem, and the Hamilton Congregational Cem, marking the locations of long-standing community congregations. To the northeast, the settlement of Pleasant Grove remains a notable landmark near Evergreen Cem. The map provides a clear look at the modern road network, including Co Hwy 35 and Co Hwy 2, superimposed over the classic section-line grid of the American Midwest.
