About this map

Yucatan sits at the intersection of steep-walled drainages and prominent ridges in southeast Minnesota, where the S Fork Root River and Riceford Cr converge. This 2016 survey illustrates a landscape deeply shaped by its topography, with agricultural activity and roadways like Creamery Dr following the narrow valley floors or sticking to the broad uplands of Oak Ridge and Irish Ridge. The settlement pattern is largely defined by these natural corridors, as seen in the orientation of Yucatan Valley and Rooster Valley.

For those researching family history, the map identifies several distinct burial sites including Kopperud Cem, Old Ridge Cem, and the First Yucatan Cem. The division between Fillmore and Houston Counties is clearly marked, cutting through the western portion of the quadrangle. The map details a network of rural roads such as Wet Bark Trl and Blackhammer Dr, which provide access to the various coulees and bluffs characterizing this portion of the driftless area.
