2013 Map of Saint Stephen

About this map

Saint Stephen and the neighboring agricultural settlements of Opole and Saint Wendel anchor this central Minnesota landscape in Stearns County. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems and small waterways, including Spunk Cr and Stony Cr, which feed toward the Mississippi River at the eastern edge of the quadrangle. This 2013 survey illustrates the interface between established farmsteads and the northward growth of Sartell. For local historians and genealogists, the map provides precise locations for family burial sites such as Mt Carmel Cem in the northwest, Saint Stephni Cem, and Saint Wendel Cem. The extensive grid of numbered county roads and avenues underscores the organized rural development that has persisted here since the nineteenth century, even as modern infrastructure like Co Hwy-17 and Co Hwy-2 connects these small communities to the larger regional hub.
