1972 Map of Zumbro Lake

About this map

The confluence of the Middle Fork Zumbro River and South Fork Zumbro River anchors this early 1970s survey of the Olmsted and Wabasha county border. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Zumbro Lake, where recreational and residential pockets like Cedar Beach and Kings Park dot the shoreline. Steep wooded slopes of the Minnesota Memorial Hardwood State Forest frame the river valley, providing a stark contrast to the gridded farmland of Farmington and Zumbro townships. Local landmarks such as the Woodville Chapel and Townhall serve as community anchors, while the Powerplant and various gravel pits indicate the small-scale industrial presence in the valley. Historical researchers can find specific cemetery locations, including Pleasant Prairie Cem and Farm Hill Cem, alongside small settlements like Hammond and South Troy.
