Abstract
Features of 351 cemeteries in south central Minnesota are described as pervasive, visible points of the cultural landscape. The preferred hilltop location and regular layout and design reflect values and attitudes of early settlers, whose history can be traced through analysis of tombstones. Alternative uses of cemetery land are considered hypothetically, although no changes in land use are anticipated.
