2010 Map of Winnebago

About this map

The Blue Earth River meanders through the heart of this Faribault County landscape, defining the character of the city of Winnebago. This 2010 topographic record shows a meticulously gridded agricultural region structured by numerous drainage systems, including County Ditch Number Twentythree and Judicial Ditch Number Twentyfive, which support the intensive farming around the river valley. The map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting several distinct burial grounds such as the Pioneer Shelbyville Cemetery and Saint Marys Cemetery. Within the city limits, the Winnebago Post Office serves as a central landmark amidst a traditional residential and commercial street plan. To the south, Elm Creek feeds into the river system, further illustrating the complex hydrology of this southern Minnesota prairie region.
