About this map

The unincorporated settlement of Yucatan sits at the intersection of significant terrain features in southeastern Minnesota, where the drainage of Riceford Cr and Bridge Cr converge. This 2013 survey illustrates the deeply dissected landscape of the Driftless Area, defined by prominent elevations such as Irish Ridge and Oak Ridge that separate narrow agricultural corridors. The naming conventions for the valley floors, including Rooster Valley, Yucatan Valley, and Chisholm Valley, reflect a long-standing pattern of localized farming communities centered on the tributary waters of Daley Cr.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of burial grounds distributed across the ridges and valley floors, documenting the early families of the area. These include the First Yucatan Cem, Yucatan Cem, Old Ridge Cem, and Kopperud Cem. The map also clearly delineates the Fillmore Co Houston Co boundary, showing how regional roads like Co Hwy-4 and Co Hwy-13 knit these rural neighborhoods together.
