About this map

The Mississippi River serves as the central artery for this late-2010s look at Central Minnesota, where the cities of St. Cloud, Sauk Rapids, Sartell, and Waite Park converge. The landscape is defined by its educational and religious institutions, featuring the campus of Saint Cloud State University and the Saint Cloud Technical College. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by numerous burial grounds, including the Pioneer Benton County Cemetery and Calvary Cemetery, alongside established congregations such as Assumption Church.

Infrastructure is anchored by the BNSF Railway and the DeSoto Bridge, which facilitates movement across the river near Lake George. To the south, the river fragments into the Beaver Islands, while the Watab River and Sauk River contribute to the complex hydrology of the region. The map also captures several drainage projects like County Ditch Number 14, showing the long-term management of the surrounding prairie and wetland environments.
