2010 Map of Melrose

About this map

The Sauk River winds through this central Minnesota landscape, anchoring the settlement of Melrose where the Sauk River Dam controls the waterway's flow. This area serves as a primary hub for Stearns County, connected by a network of county highways and the recreational Lake Wobegon Trl which follows a former rail corridor through town. The map reveals a deeply rooted community, evidenced by numerous long-standing religious and civic landmarks including Saint Patrick Cemetery and Saint Marys Cemetery. Outside the main town center, the terrain is dotted with glacial features like Black Oak Lake and Lake Isabelle, alongside the smaller settlements of New Munich and Meire Grove. The presence of the Melrose Riverside Airfield northwest of the city center highlights the mix of agricultural tradition and modern infrastructure that defines the region in the early 21st century.
