About this map

Sauk Lake dominates the central landscape of this Minnesota region, its elongated waters stretching between the settlement of Little Sauk to the north and the Stearns County line to the south. The surrounding terrain is a complex mosaic of glacial water bodies, including Little Sauk Lake, Fairy Lake, and Juergens Lake, which are interconnected by the winding Sauk River and Ashley Cr. This 2016 survey documents a rural environment where land use is dictated by this watery geography.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of community landmarks, particularly the five distinct burial sites scattered across the township lines. From Bethel Cem and Little Sauk Cem in the north to Kandota Cem, Svealund Cem, and Minnesota Home Cem further south, these locations provide essential anchor points for family history research in a landscape defined by its lakes and rivers.
