2019 Map of Saint Stephen

About this map

The Mississippi River forms the northeastern boundary of this Central Minnesota landscape, where the rural townships of Stearns and Benton counties meet. The settlement of St. Stephen serves as a central hub, flanked by the Saint Stephani Cem and characterized by a network of local roads like Main St E and Central Ave N. To the west and south, the communities of Opole, Saint Wendel, and the northern reaches of Sartell reveal a pattern of established farmsteads and parish life, anchored by sites such as Our Lady of Mount Carmel Cem and Saint Wendel Cem.. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage system, including Spunk Cr and Stony Cr, alongside engineered waterways such as County Ditch Number Twelve and County Ditch Number Eighteen. This network of ditches illustrates the extensive land management required for agriculture in this glaciated region.
