2022 Map of Veseli

About this map

Veseli and Saint Patrick anchor this survey of the glacial landscape along the border of Scott and Rice Counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of kettle lakes and wetlands, including Lennon Lake, Bradshaw Lake, and Nash Lake, which feed the wandering path of Porter Cr. The settlement pattern reflects the area's agricultural roots and religious heritage, centered on local landmarks like Pioneers Holy Trinity Cem and Saint Johns Cem. While contemporary roads such as New Prague Blvd and Co Hwy 6 provide modern connectivity, the underlying Public Land Survey System grid still dictates the placement of rural farmsteads and field boundaries. To the northeast, the expanding footprint of Elko New Market shows the transition from quiet township lands to growing suburban centers, even as Smith Field remains a distinct marker of local aviation history.
