About this map

Saint Martin and New Munich anchor this Central Minnesota landscape, where the meandering Sauk River defines the southern terrain. This 2013 topographic survey captures the agricultural and hydrologic character of Stearns County, showing a complex network of glacial lakes including Getchell Lake, Sand Lake, and Gravel Lake. The distribution of Immanuel Cem and Saint Martin Cem provides a geographic foundation for family history researchers, while the placement of the Po in Saint Martin indicates the civic center of the community.

Water management is a defining feature of the local geography, evidenced by engineered waterways like County Ditch Number Fifteen and County Ditch Number Six which support the surrounding farmland. The map traces the transition from natural features like Getchell Cr to the structured grid of county highways and local roads such as Lake Maria Rd and Sauk Valley Rd, illustrating how the modern transport network follows the contours of the river valley and upland prairies.
