Blooming Prairie straddles the Dodge–Steele county line, with most of its built-up area and its own post office sitting in Steele County; the slice inside Dodge is unaddressed farmland on the town’s edge. Rice Lake, once platted in Ashland Township, was abandoned decades ago and carries no current population.<\/p>\n
