2010 Map of Saint George

About this map

The Minnesota River winds along the southern edge of this agricultural landscape in Nicollet County, shaping the lowlands near Horseshoe Lake. The settlement of Saint George serves as a local focal point, anchored by the Saint George Catholic Cemetery and connected by historic routes like Fort Rd. The upland terrain is defined by a complex network of drainage systems, including Judicial Ditch Number One and County Ditch Number Four A, which support the surrounding farmland between major water bodies like Swan Lake and Clear Lake. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies significant burial sites scattered across the township, including the West Newton Cemetery and the Clear Lake Baptist Cemetery. The landscape is a study in rural Minnesota land management, where natural features like Eightmile Creek and Little Rock Creek intersect with a rigid grid of section roads and county highways.
