1974 Map of St Augusta

About this map

The Mississippi River winds through the northeast corner of this Stearns County landscape, serving as the historical boundary between Haven and St Augusta townships. Small agricultural centers like Luxemburg and St Augusta anchor a countryside defined by glacial topography, where numerous Gravel Pits reflect the local geology. In the southern portion of the map, the terrain is dotted with small water bodies including Beaver Lake, Mund Lake, and Hulbert Lake, while the settlement of Hurrle sits near the border of Fairhaven and Maine Prairie. Local genealogy is well-documented through landmarks like St Marys Cem and Gethsemane Cem. Industrial infrastructure is visible along the river corridor, where the Burlington Northern railroad runs parallel to new highway segments marked as Under Construction, illustrating the mid-1970s transition toward modern transit networks.
