2022 Map of Saint James East

About this map

St. James serves as the primary hub in this portion of Watonwan County, situated at the intersection of a significant agricultural landscape and a complex network of prairie waterways. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the S Fork Watonwan River, which is joined by tributaries like Saint James Cr, Willow Cr, and Spring Br Cr. These watercourses create natural boundaries between the expansive sections of farmland that dominate the township lines. Local history and genealogy researchers will find important landmarks on the periphery of the town, including Mount Hope Cem and the more isolated Sell-Lamb Cem. The presence of the St James Municipal Airport and the expansive grid of county highways such as Co HWY 10 and Co HWY 27 reflect the area's continued reliance on efficient transport for its rural economy.
