1981 Map of St Michael

About this map

Crow River meanders across the southeastern quadrant of this survey, defining the boundary between Wright Co and Hennepin Co near the settlement of Hanover. The landscape is dominated by a dense concentration of glacial lakes, including the expansive Pelican Lake and smaller bodies such as Beebe Lake, Uhl Lake, and Lake Charlotte. Settlement patterns center on the growing communities of St Michael and Albertville, which are connected by the Burlington Northern railroad corridor. Institutional landmarks like the St Michael-Albertville Sch and St Albert Cem provide key reference points for local history. Evidence of the region's agricultural and industrial roots persists at Berning Mill and various Gravel Pits along the river banks, while the Riverside County Park indicates the early preservation of the riparian corridor.
