About this map

The Sauk Centre township serves as a central hub in Stearns County, defined by the intersection of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific railroads. This mid-1960s survey reveals a landscape transitioning toward modern infrastructure, with a new highway segment clearly marked as Under Construction southeast of the city. The town's historical and social fabric is evidenced by landmarks such as the State School for Girls, the County Fairground, and Sinclair Lewis Park along the shores of Sauk Lake.

Outside the municipal center, the terrain is dotted with small glacial lakes and numerous family or community sites. Genealogists will find several distinct burial grounds, including St Pauls Cem, Greenwood Cem, and the Bohemian Cem further south in Getty township. The map also records the rural educational landscape with School No 1981 and provides a look at local leisure through the Drive-in Theater and Sauk Centre Airport.
