About this map

Zumbro Lake and its branching fingers dominate this landscape, where the Middle Fork and South Fork converge. The topography reveals a dramatic carving of the land, with sharp elevation changes surrounding Ryans Bay and Rattlesnake Point. The settlement of Hammond sits along the northern reach of the river, while smaller communities like South Troy and residential developments such as Cedar Beach and Kings Park dot the shoreline and nearby bluffs.

Agricultural and rural infrastructure is evident through the naming of several local family sites and landmarks, including Tiedeman Farms and the Nietz Airstrip. Genealogists can find several established burial grounds, including Pleasant Prairie Cem, Farm Hill Cem, and Greenland Cem. The map illustrates the county line dividing Wabasha and Olmsted counties, tracing how modern roads like Us-63 bisect the rolling terrain of this river-valley region.
