2020 Map of Saint John

About this map

The settlement of St. John sits at the base of the Turtle Mountains, serving as a gateway to this unique upland region on the edge of the Canadian border. This 2020 survey illustrates the organized grid of the township as it meets the more varied, lake-dotted terrain to the south and west. Local landmarks such as the Saint John Cem and the Rolla Municipal Airport provide anchor points for those researching family history in Rolette County. The hydrology of the area is defined by the winding course of Gimby Cr and the marshy expanses of Hidden Island Coulee, which contrast with the open agricultural sections north of the mountains. A network of rural routes, including HWY 43 and several Bureau of Indian Affairs roads like Bia RD 2, connects the community to the surrounding prairie and neighboring regions across the international boundary.
