About this map

Freeport serves as the central hub of this Stearns County landscape, anchored by the Freeport Post Office and the Sacred Heart Cemetery. The surrounding countryside is dotted with a high concentration of burial grounds, providing significant resources for genealogical research, including Millwood Cemetery, Ebenezer Cemetery, and the Saint Rosa of Lima Cemetery near the settlement of Saint Rosa.

Glacial geography is prominent across the quadrangle, evidenced by a dense network of kettle lakes and wetlands. Larger bodies like Kings Lake and Uhlenkolts Lake are connected by the winding path of Getchell Creek, while smaller basins like Wolf Lake and Swamp Lake highlight the characteristic terminal moraine terrain of central Minnesota. The local infrastructure follows a rigid section-line grid, typical of the state's agricultural development, with routes such as County Hwy-11 and County Hwy-167 linking the dispersed farmsteads.
