2010 Map of Farming

About this map

Farming serves as the primary settlement hub in this part of Stearns County, where the agricultural landscape is heavily defined by its glacial hydrology. The terrain is densely pocketed with water bodies ranging from Big Rice Lake and Little Rice Lake to smaller basins like Eggert Lake and Kranz Lake. The drainage network, including the Spunk Branch, winds through a grid of rural roads that connect long-established community centers. For those tracing local history, the map provides precise locations for Saint Catherine's and the Immanuel Lutheran Church, along with their respective burial grounds, Saint Catherine's Cemetery and the Immanuel Lutheran Church Cemetery. In the northern section, the Lake Wobegon Trl utilizes a former rail corridor, cutting across the landscape near Schwinghamer Lake and Englemeier Lake, signaling a transition from industrial transport to modern recreational use.
