About this map

The Mississippi River forms the backbone of this Benton and Stearns County landscape, winding south toward the growing community of Sartell. To the north, the expansive Little Rock Lake dominates the eastern half of the sheet, fed by Sucker Creek and Little Rock Creek. This era of the region’s development is characterized by a mix of established residential patterns and recreation, with the Benton Beach Campground situated on the lake's northern shore and the Blackberry Ridge Golf Course positioned west of the river.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several notable landmarks, including the Rice Cemetery in the north and the Brockway Cemetery further south near the riverbanks. The small settlement of Watab sits at a narrow point where the water and rail lines converge. Transportation infrastructure is evident through the presence of the Little Rock-Rock Port Airport and an extensive network of local roads such as Great River Rd and NE River Rd, which trace the riparian corridors.
