About this map

Waseca serves as the focal point of this South Central Minnesota landscape, where the urban grid meets a complex network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The city's civic heart is anchored by the Waseca County Courthouse, while its western expansion is defined by the Waseca Municipal Airport. To the south, the village of Wilton sits near the banks of the Le Sueur River, illustrating the historical importance of watercourses for early settlement and transport in the region.

Genealogists will find this survey particularly valuable for its density of rural burial sites, including Minske Cem, Saint Johns Cem, Calvary Cem, Krassin Cem, Saint Mary Cem, and Wilton Cem. These sites, often situated near township section lines and family farmsteads, reveal the deep-rooted community structure of the county. The map also traces the modern corridor of Old US Hwy 14 as it skirts the northern edge of Loon Lake.
