About this map

Little Sauk and the northern reaches of Sauk Centre anchor this central Minnesota landscape, where the Sauk River threads through a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The geography is defined by a series of significant water bodies, including the expansive Sauk Lake and the interconnected waters of Fairy Lake, Long Lake, and Little Sauk Lake. This area, spanning the border of Todd Co and Stearns Co, exhibits a long-established settlement pattern evident in its rural burial grounds.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family and community landmarks, such as Bethel Lutheran Cem, Svealund Cem, and the Minnesota Home Cem. The presence of Kandota Cem and Little Sauk Cem reflects the distribution of early townships across t128n r34w and surrounding sections. The map detail highlights the importance of the river system, including the Sauk River Tri, in shaping the road and property boundaries of the region.
