2013 Map of Wells

About this map

The settlement of Wells serves as the primary hub of this agricultural landscape in southern Minnesota. Situated at the junction of several regional routes, the town grid is well-defined, featuring landmarks such as the Po and historic burial grounds including Rose Hill Cem and Saint Casimer Cem. The surrounding Faribault County terrain is heavily influenced by a network of managed watercourses, where the E Br Blue Earth River flows through the southern section near Rice Lake. The map illustrates a complex drainage system essential for the local prairie farming economy, documented through named features like County Ditch Number One, Foster Cr, and Judicial Ditch Number Fourteen. To the east, the smaller community of Baroda sits along a diagonal corridor, while Rice Lake Cem marks a more secluded location near the water's edge.
