About this map

Holdingford and the surrounding Stearns County landscape are defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and small streams, including the meandering S Two River and Spunk Cr. The area is home to several well-established rural communities that maintain distinct identities through their local landmarks and places of rest. In the southern portion of the sheet, the waters of Pelican Lake and Little Pelican Lake dominate the terrain near Saint Anna and Avon.

Genealogists will find this 2019 survey particularly valuable for its precise location of numerous religious and community burial sites. These include Highland Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Saint Hegwigs Cem near the northern settlements, as well as Sacred Heart Cem and the Immaculate Conception Cem further south. The map documents the modern road network, from Co HWY 17 to Angelfish Ave, showing how contemporary transit routes follow the historical settlement patterns of these central Minnesota townships.
