About this map

Waterville sits as the central hub of this lake-heavy landscape, positioned between the expansive Tetonka Lake and Sakatah Lake. The town's grid is bounded by natural features like Antl Bay and White Water Cr, reflecting a settlement pattern deeply tied to the surrounding water bodies. The geography is characterized by several distinctive points extending into the lakes, including McPete Point, Rocky Point, and Crams Point.

For genealogists and local historians, this survey provides a dense record of early burial grounds scattered across the countryside. From the centrally located Sakatah Cem and Calvary Cem near town to the more outlying Saint Jarlath Cem and Pommerans Cem, these sites mark the legacy of the area's rural families. Smaller settlements like Palmer and recreation spots like Scott's Campground further illustrate the mix of agriculture and lakeside living that defines the border of Le Sueur, Rice, and Waseca counties.
