2013 Map of Albany

About this map

The settlement of Albany serves as the focal point of this Stearns County landscape, where the intersection of state and local highways anchors a dense network of farmsteads and rural infrastructure. The mapping reveals a complex glacial topography defined by numerous kettle lakes and managed drainage systems, including County Ditch Number Twentytwo and County Ditch Number Fifteen. Local history is preserved through established family and community landmarks, such as the Warga Dairy Farm and Skalicky Airstrip. The distribution of several burial grounds, including Seven Dolors Cem, Saint Johns Cem, and Ebenezer Cem, reflects the long-standing community ties in this central Minnesota region. A series of interconnected water bodies like Two River Lake and Bear Lake highlight the characteristic lake-studded terrain that has shaped local agriculture and recreation for generations.
