2022 Map of Saint Leo

About this map

Saint Leo anchors this agricultural landscape in Yellow Medicine County, centered on the intersection of Co Hwy 3 and 300th St. This area reflects the organized grid of the Public Land Survey System, where sections are clearly defined by a network of gravel and paved routes like 230th Ave and 320th St. The terrain is characterized by prairie wetlands and slow-moving drainages, including the meandering path of Mud Cr and the waters of Lanners Lake in the northeast corner. Cultural sites of significance to genealogists include the Saint Leo Cem and the more southern Burton Cem near the borders of Lincoln and Lyon counties. The presence of Congers Marsh and several unnamed depressions suggests a landscape where water management and drainage are central to the local farming economy.
