2022 Map of Zumbro Lake

About this map

Zumbro Lake dominates the western edge of this 2022 survey, where the Middle Fork Zumbro River joins the main branch amidst a landscape of sharp ridges and winding valley roads. The border between Wabasha and Olmsted counties cuts directly through the center of the map, separating the northern settlements like Hammond and South Troy from the southern reaches. This modern topographical study highlights the shift from the recreational waterfront at Cedar Beach and Ryans Bay to the upland agricultural plateaus. Rural life is anchored by established landmarks such as the Pleasant Prairie Cem and Farm Hill Cem, while the Nietz Airstrip indicates the contemporary use of the flatter terrain away from the river bluffs. Notable landmarks like Rattlesnake Point and Sandy Point provide clear orientation for researchers tracking the development of the river corridor.
