2016 Map of Melrose

About this map

Melrose serves as the central hub of this Stearns County landscape, where the Sauk River and County Ditch Number Forty-two manage the drainage of a terrain dense with glacial depressions and wetlands. The settlement pattern is anchored by religious and community landmarks, including Saint Marys Cem and Saint Patrick Cem near the town center, and Saint Johns Cem further south in Meire Grove. These sites, along with New Munich in the southeast corner, reflect the area's deep-rooted rural heritage.
