2013 Map of Saint George

About this map

The Saint George settlement sits just north of the bluff line overlooking the wide valley of the Minnesota River, which forms the southern boundary of this region. The landscape is defined by the transition from the flat agricultural tableland of Sibley Co and Nicollet Co into the more complex river drainage system. Water management is a central theme of the local terrain, evidenced by extensive engineered waterways such as Judicial Ditch Number One and County Ditch Number Four A. Local heritage is preserved in several rural burial grounds, including the Saint George Catholic Cem near the town site, and the Clear Lake Baptist Cem located further north. Significant natural water bodies like Swan Lake and Clear Lake dot the northern reaches, while the Minnesota River corridor features the distinct Horseshoe Lake, reflecting the shifting historical path of the riverbed.
