About this map

The Mississippi River carves a winding path through the heart of central Minnesota, defining the boundary between Morrison and Stearns counties. Along its banks, the landscape is characterized by riverine islands like McDougall Island and Pasch Island, and the convergence with the Platte River near the town of Royalton. This 2016 survey illustrates a region where agriculture and aviation meet, featuring the Fussy Airport west of the river.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the three-county intersection of Morrison, Benton, and Stearns, including the Pioneer Cem, Royalton Cem, and the Holy Cross Church Cem in the settlement of North Prairie. The map also details the northern reaches of the Spunk Cr drainage and the small water body of Zebulon Pike Lake, providing a clear view of the rural road network connecting these historic communities and parishes.
