2016 Map of Waltham

About this map

The Cedar River meanders through the heart of this Mower County landscape, defining the agricultural character and drainage patterns of the region south of the Dodge Co Mower Co line. Small settlements and crossroads serve as the primary hubs for this rural community, notably the village of Waltham, alongside the clusters at Mayville and Lansing. The map reveals a highly structured township and range system, where a dense grid of gravel and paved roads like State Hwy 251 and Dodge Mower Rd facilitate access to sprawling farmsteads. Cultural and genealogical landmarks are preserved in the form of rural burial grounds, specifically Saint Michael's Cem and Trinity Cem, which sit amidst the fields. Waterways such as Roberts Cr feed into the river system, carving gentle relief into the prairie terrain of southern Minnesota.
