About this map

The Mississippi River winds through the heart of this landscape, serving as a boundary between Sherburne, Stearns, and Wright counties. This confluence of jurisdictions is centered on the town of Clearwater, situated at the mouth of the Clearwater River. The area's agricultural and civil development is evidenced by a dense network of county roads and drainage systems like County Ditch Number Ten.

Genealogists will find significant local history markers in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the map, including Saint Marcus Cem near Clear Lake and Mount Hope Cem further south. Aviation history is noted by the presence of Seven Hills Airport near the center of the sheet. Further north, the suburban expansion of St. Cloud begins to edge into the frame, while the Elk River cuts through the northeast corner near Carrier Lake.
