2010 Map of Stark

About this map

The settlement of Stark anchors this rural Chisago County landscape, which is defined by an intricate cluster of glacial lakes and wetlands. The community's spiritual and family history is centered on the Spring Lake Lutheran Cemetery and Fish Lake Lutheran Cemetery, serving as vital records for local genealogy. The terrain is dominated by water bodies such as Big Pine Lake, Goose Lake, and the winding North Branch Sunrise River at the southern edge. The distribution of homes and farmsteads follows a grid of secondary roads like Stark Rd and County Hwy 65, which connect the various lakefronts. To the east of Spring Lake, the Trulson Wildlife Pond Dam indicates managed water levels within this pond-rich region. The map illustrates a contemporary rural character where traditional agriculture and newer residential footprints meet the many shorelines of Horseshoe Lake and Mandall Lake.
