About this map

Glacial lake basins and early township boundaries define this mid-1960s landscape of Stearns County, primarily within Millwood and Oak. The village of Freeport serves as a central hub, situated along the Great Northern rail line and adjacent to Freeport Lake. To the north, the settlement of St Rosa sits amidst a high concentration of water bodies including the elongated Long Lake and the broader Kings Lake.

Rural infrastructure is documented through numbered schoolhouses like School No 1992 and religious sites such as the Immaculate Conception Cem near New Munich. The map also captures the conservation efforts of the era, noting a National Waterfowl Production Area in the northeast. These features, combined with numerous gravel pits and the winding Getchell Creek, reveal an economy built on local natural resources and agriculture.
