About this map

The Mississippi River defines the western corridor of this 2019 survey, carving through the boundary between Stearns and Benton counties. Along this vital waterway, the industrial and residential footprints of Sartell and Sauk Rapids are clearly delineated, showing the modern extent of these central Minnesota communities. To the east, the landscape opens into the waters of Little Rock Lake and the meandering path of Little Rock Creek, a region characterized by a mix of wetlands and agricultural tracts.

Transportation networks, including the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad, parallel the river, supporting the local economy. Genealogists and local historians can locate specific landmarks such as Rice Cem near the town of Rice and Brockway Cem further south. Smaller settlements like St. Stephen and Watab provide additional context for the area's rural settlement patterns and historic community centers.
