About this map

The Sauk River winds across the northern half of this Stearns County landscape, creating a fertile valley dominated by the settlement of Richmond and its connection to the Great Northern rail line. This mid-1960s survey captures a geography defined by its complex glacial lake systems, including the expansive Horseshoe Lake and its numerous connected basins like Cedar Island Lake, Krons Bay, and East Lake.

Industry and transport are woven into the terrain, with several Gravel Pits concentrated near the river and the tracks. Small-scale water features like Kolling Creek and Thein Lake sit adjacent to larger bodies such as Rice Lake and Big Lake. The map details local landmarks like the town Cem and Roscoe, providing a precise look at the township boundaries of Munson, Eden Lake, and Farming before more modern suburban development altered these rural corridors.
