2022 Map of Albany

About this map

The city of Albany serves as the focal point for this section of Stearns County, situated at the intersection of a complex local road network and adjacent to the waters of North Lake. This area of central Minnesota is characterized by a dense concentration of glacial lakes and intricate drainage systems, including County Ditch Number Fifteen and County Ditch Number Twenty-two, which feed into larger bodies like Two River Lake and Saint Anna Lake. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial sites, specifically Seven Dolors Cem, Saint Johns Cem, and Ebenezer Cem, which are primary identifiers for the early families of the region. To the northwest, the smaller settlement of St. Anthony marks a distinct rural node. The landscape is further defined by the meandering course of Krain Creek and the South Two River, illustrating the water-rich topography that has influenced the agricultural and residential development patterns of the township.
