2013 Map of Paynesville

About this map

The N Fork Crow River meanders through the southern portion of this Stearns County landscape, anchoring the city of Paynesville. This area serves as a primary hub where MN-55 and MN-23 intersect, providing a glimpse into the regional transportation network that connects the Bonanza Valley to surrounding agricultural townships. To the north, the Sauk River clips the corner of the map near the settlement of Saint Martin, while the community of Roscoe sits further east along the highway corridor. For those researching local history, the map identifies several significant burial sites, including Salem Cem, Zion Cem, and Saint Louis Cem. The terrain is characterized by numerous small depressions and wetland pockets typical of central Minnesota's glaciated plains, with Rice Lake visible in the southeastern quadrant near the intersection of several local county highways.
