2019 Map of Saint George

About this map

Saint George anchors this landscape in the Minnesota River valley, situated near the intersection of Co Rd 21 and 388th Ln. The surrounding terrain is defined by its complex hydrology, where natural features like Swan Lake and Clear Lake exist alongside engineered water management systems such as Judicial Ditch Number One and County Ditch Number Four A. These ditches reflect the intensive agricultural development of the region, draining low-lying areas to create productive farmland. For those researching local history, the map provides precise locations for several faith-based burial sites, including the Saint George Catholic Cem, the West Newton Cem, and the Clear Lake Baptist Cem. To the south, the terrain descends toward the Minnesota River, passing through the bottomlands of Horseshoe Lake and the drainage of Eightmile Cr. This intersection of original wetlands like Rieke Marsh and modern drainage improvements offers a clear picture of how the Nicollet County landscape was reshaped for habitation and farming.
