About this map

The Mississippi River carves a winding path through this central Minnesota landscape, defining the boundaries between Morrison, Benton, and Stearns Counties. The settlement of Royalton serves as a primary hub along the eastern bank, positioned where the Platte River meets the larger waterway. This 2013 survey reveals a rural network of farm-to-market roads and significant local landmarks like Fussy Airport and several historic burial grounds, including the Pioneer Cem and Holy Trinity Cem.

North of the main town, the river widens near McDougall Island and Zebulon Pike Lake, reflecting the hydrological complexity of the region. Local history is anchored by the community at North Prairie and the Holy Cross Church Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the regional transition from the wooded islands of the Mississippi to the structured agricultural plots that define the surrounding townships.
