About this map

The Mississippi River carves the northeastern corner of this landscape, separating the developing outskirts of St. Cloud from the rural expanse of Stearns County. This modern survey reflects the growth of satellite communities like St. Augusta and Luxemburg, where residential subdivisions such as Garden Hills Ln meet traditional agricultural sections. Genealogists can locate several historic burial grounds including Saint Mary Help of Christians Cem, Saint Wendelin Cem, and the more isolated Gethsemane Cem located south of the main settlements.

The topography is defined by a dense network of wetlands and small glacial lakes, including Beaver Lake, Mund Lake, and Hinz Lake. Drainage for the region is provided by local tributaries like Johnson Cr and Plum Cr which meander through the prairie landscape before reaching the river. The map details a sophisticated road network ranging from major arteries like Co Hwy 136 to residential lanes and rural routes such as Beaver Lake Rd.
