2022 Map of Saint Peter

About this map

St. Peter sits along the western bluffs of the Minnesota River, serving as a regional hub defined by its academic and civic institutions. The campus of Gustavus Adolphus College dominates the hilltop, while the Nicollet County Government Center anchors the downtown grid. South of the city, the settlement of Kasota occupies the lowlands near the riverbanks. The surrounding landscape in Le Sueur and Nicollet Counties is characterized by significant water bodies, including Lake Emily and the northern reaches of Lake Washington. Genealogists will find several burial grounds of historical interest, from the Elim Welsh Cem in the north to the Pettis Klaseus Family Cem in the south. A network of recreational paths, such as the Minnesota River Trl, follows the winding river valley through wooded terrain and wetlands.
