2013 Map of Richmond

About this map

Richmond serves as the focal point for this Stearns County landscape, positioned along the banks of the Sauk River in a region defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and waterways. The map illustrates a developed recreation and residential pattern, particularly concentrated around the shores of Big Lake, Cedar Island Lake, and Horseshoe Lake. The local infrastructure is deeply tied to this water-rich geography, with major routes like MN-23 and Co HWY-23 navigating between the numerous basins. Notable community landmarks include the Saints Peter and Paul Cem and the local Post Office in the village center. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows a strong emphasis on seasonal residency and tourism, evidenced by the Morning Star Resort Campground, Your Haven Campground, and Cozy Corner Campground, highlighting the area's long-standing draw for those seeking the Minnesota lake life.
