2022 Map of Morris

About this map

The city of Morris serves as a regional hub in Stevens County, defined by its institutional architecture and organized grid. The campus of the University of Minnesota Morris and the Stevens County District Courthouse anchor the central townsite, while the Morris Municipal Airport - Charlie Schmidt Field occupies the prairie land to the west. This landscape is a mosaic of agriculture and water, where the meandering Pomme de Terre River and Muddy Cr cut through the glacial till. Significant wetlands and basins like Spooner Slough, Coleman Slough, and Crystal Lake are preserved among the section lines, illustrating the tension between the natural hydrology of the Red River Valley edge and the rigid demands of the Public Land Survey System. Local heritage is further marked by the presence of Summit Cem and Calvary Cem on the town's northern and eastern fringes.
