About this map

Belle Creek flows through this rural Goodhue County landscape, where agriculture and water management define the local geography. The settlement of White Rock sits at the intersection of County Hwy-1 and County Hwy-8, serving as a small hub for the surrounding township. Numerous small-scale water projects are evident throughout the terrain, including the Donald Banks Group Dam and the Peaceful Valley Group Structure Number 1 Dam, reflecting a concerted effort to manage the watershed's drainage into Butler Creek and other local tributaries.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant data in the distribution of historic sites, such as the Spring Garden Cemetery and the Old Cemetery near Wastedo. The presence of the Episcopal Church and the Jempland Cemetery further highlights the early social and religious foundations of the community. This 2010 survey illustrates a quiet continuity of land use, where family-named structures like the Eldon Anderson Dam and Charles Vangsness Dam underscore the deep-rooted connection between the local residents and their environment.
