2019 Map of Saint Leo

About this map

St. Leo serves as the primary hub for this agricultural portion of Yellow Medicine County, defined by a grid of rural section roads and the winding paths of Mud Cr and Spring Cr. This landscape is marked by the distinct transition from the cultivated uplands down to the wetland environments of Congers Marsh and the scattered prairie potholes that dot the terrain. For those researching local family history, the map preserves the locations of Saint Leo Cem and Burton Cem, which sit as quiet landmarks among the fields. Unique local features such as Koch's Personal Field and Lanners Lake illustrate the private land use patterns typical of southwestern Minnesota. The intersection of three counties—Yellow Medicine, Lincoln, and Lyon—meets at the southern edge, highlighting the regional importance of this rural township at the close of the 2010s.
