About this map

Lake Henry and its surrounding agricultural lands define the landscape in this portion of Stearns County, anchored by the small settlement that shares the lake's name. The terrain is characterized by numerous small wetlands and glacial depressions typical of central Minnesota, with the southern reaches of the map transitioning toward the N Fork Crow River valley. This waterway serves as a natural boundary near the community of Regal, where the local road network becomes increasingly dense near the border with Kandiyohi County.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of several rural burial grounds, including Saint Margaret Cem and Saint Paul's Lutheran Cem. These sites, along with Saint Anthony Cem, reflect the ethnic and religious settlement patterns of the early 21st century. The map also captures the northwestern edge of Paynesville, showing its proximity to the Paynesville Cem and the complex intersections of regional routes like Co HWY 16 and Co Line RD 68.
