2019 Map of Sauk Lake

About this map

Sauk Lake dominates the central geography of this central Minnesota landscape, where the Sauk River flows southward through a chain of glacial water bodies. The terrain is defined by the transition from Todd County into Stearns County, anchored by the settlement of Sauk Centre at the southern end of the lake and the community of Little Sauk to the north. This mapping reveals a rural infrastructure deeply connected to its cemeteries and lakes, providing a detailed record for genealogists and local historians. Scattered burial grounds like Bethel Cem, Kandota Cem, and Svealund Cem mark the heritage of the surrounding townships. The intricate network of county roads, such as Co 50 and Co 11, connects these settlements and provides access to numerous smaller water bodies including Juergens Lake, Twin Island Lake, and Fairy Lake, illustrating the post-war development of the lakefront and rural residential patterns.
