It lies 15.3 miles east of Brown, MN (from Brown, MN: bearing 80°T), and is situated 6.7 miles east-south-east of New Ulm.

The Minnesota River, a ribbon of muted silver, meanders through the periphery, its presence a quiet murmur in the otherwise hushed expanse. In the early morning, a soft mist often hangs low, blurring the edges of fields and softening the stark geometry of farm buildings, lending the air a cool, earthy embrace. The story of Courtland is one of immigrant resilience and agricultural endeavor, deeply rooted in the rich silt deposited by the ancestral rivers that shaped this region. German settlers were among the earliest to break ground, bringing with them a tradition of meticulous farming and a strong sense of community. The local economy, for generations, has been intrinsically tied to the bounty of the land, with corn and soybeans dominating the vast fields that surround the village. The distinctive silhouette of grain elevators, like watchful sentinels against the sky, punctuates the landscape, a constant reminder of the agricultural pulse that beats at the heart of Courtland. The quiet dignity of its working farms and the enduring spirit of its people speak of a place that has always understood the value of hard work and the deep connection to the earth.
