2010 Map of Truman

About this map

Truman serves as the central hub of this agricultural region in southern Minnesota, anchored by the Truman Post Office. The surrounding landscape is defined by a grid of rural routes like County Hwy 40 and 240th St, punctuated by numerous small burial grounds that suggest a long history of family farming and local congregations. Among these are the Antrim-Saint John Cemetery, Ridge Lawn Cemetery, and the uniquely named True Farm Cemetery to the southeast. Natural drainage across the prairie is marked by the winding paths of Perch Creek and Elm Creek, which connect several localized water bodies including Perch Lake and Martin Lake. This survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the area, where the spatial distribution of landmarks like Westford Cemetery and Horicon Cemetery provides a clear view of the township divisions and historical land use patterns established over generations.
