About this map

The Sauk River winds through the northern reach of this Central Minnesota landscape, anchoring the settlement of Rockville. Water defines the geography here, where Mill Creek flows southward from the Mill Creek Dam, connecting a series of substantial glacial basins including Grand Lake, Rausch Lake, and the nearly circular Pearl Lake. These water bodies are interspersed with rural homesteads and agricultural tracts connected by a grid of county highways and local roads such as Glacier Rd and Agate Beach Rd.

Genealogists can identify key local landmarks including Calvary Cemetery near the river and the Maine Prairie Cemetery in the southeastern corner. The small community of Marty sits at a crossroads further south, illustrating the dispersed settlement pattern of Stearns County. The presence of County Ditch Number Fourteen in the northeast reflects local water management efforts in this lake-heavy terrain, which also features smaller bodies like Mud Lake and Goodners Lake.
