About this map

The confluence of the Middle Fork Zumbro River and the S Fork Zumbro River anchors this landscape in the late 2010s, where they feed into the sprawling waters of Zumbro Lake. This region along the boundary of Wabasha and Olmsted counties shows a distinct contrast between the clustered shoreline communities of Cedar Beach and the agricultural plateaus to the east. Several historic burial grounds, including Pleasant Prairie Cem and Greenland Cem, are situated on the higher elevations above the river valley.

Transportation and infrastructure are defined by the winding course of the Zumbro River as it passes near Hammond in the northeast. The map details localized landmarks such as the Nietz Airstrip and geographical features like Rattlesnake Point and Ryans Bay. These labels provide a precise look at the modern rural development and recreational shoreline that characterize this portion of Southeast Minnesota.
