About this map

Ashley Creek winds through the northern reaches of this rural landscape, carving a subtle path through the agricultural grid of Stearns County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of township roads and county highways, including County Hwy-28 and County Hwy-189, which facilitate the region's long-standing farming tradition. This 2010 survey highlights the persistence of local landmarks such as Saint Johns Cemetery and Lyman Prairie Cemetery, serving as vital anchors for family historians and genealogists tracking ancestral roots in central Minnesota.

In the southeast, the waters of Raymond Lake and the various branches of Hoboken Creek punctuate the prairie, indicating the natural drainage patterns that have influenced land use for generations. The map illustrates a mature rural infrastructure where established thoroughfares like County Hwy-183 and Sterling Rd connect isolated homesteads to the broader county network, maintaining a spatial organization that has remained largely consistent since the mid-20th century.
