The home farm just east of New Richland my grandparents owned all dumps into the little Le Sueur river which goes NW and dumps someplace west into the Le Sueur river then into the Minnesota River which flows NE to the Mississippi then south.
Which most don't understand a lot of water in our fair state goes in a half circle before it travels south.
The end of this week will be interesting as there is a ton of melt to come yet and will make this last week look like nothing. My Aunt and I were talking about 1965 flood she said they couldn't leave the farm for weeks it was so bad as there was water everywhere and granddad had to dump milk, one can at a time as we were canned milk.
I live close to New Richland and I was fairly old before I realized that much of our "water" goes North before it gets into the Mississippi. I'm on the edge of the half circle you mention. Some of our water goes North and West and then loops back South. Water on other pieces of our land goes West and South before it joins the Mississippi. |
