About Mapleton

Mapleton is a quiet town of around 1,700 people tucked along the Maple River in southern Minnesota. Located about twenty miles south of Mankato at the junction of Highways 22 and 30, the community offers a relaxed, rural atmosphere surrounded by open farmland. It originally grew around the railroad in the late 1800s, and today it serves as a comfortable home base for residents who appreciate a slower pace.
