2022 Map of Royalton

About this map

Royalton serves as the central hub of this Central Minnesota landscape, situated where the Platte River meanders toward its confluence with the Mississippi River. This modern survey reveals a complex network of county roads and township lines that define the rural character of Morrison, Benton, and Stearns counties. The western edge is dominated by the Mississippi River corridor, featuring notable landforms like McDougall Island and Pasch Island, along with the Zebulon Pike Lake area. For family historians, the map is particularly dense with cemetery records, documenting sites such as Pioneer Cem, Royalton Cem, and the Holy Cross Church Cem near the settlement of North Prairie. The presence of Fussy Airport and the southern reach toward Rice indicate the continued development of this river-valley region, where traditional agricultural townships meet the infrastructure of the Great River Rd.
