About this map

Stewart serves as a focal point in this portion of McLeod County, situated near the headwaters of Buffalo Creek. The settlement is anchored by the Stewart Post Office, reflecting its long-standing role as a local service hub for the surrounding agricultural community. The landscape is characterized by a series of glacial depressions, many labeled as lakebeds such as Halls Lakebed, Showburg Lakebed, and Nutter Lakebed, indicating the shifting hydrology of this prairie region over time.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of several community burial grounds, including Saint Boniface Cemetery near the northern border and Saint Matthew's Cemetery located south toward Fernando. The drainage patterns of High Island Creek and the presence of remaining water bodies like Round Grove Lake and Kujas Lake further define the geography. The strict grid of county roads, including County Hwy-7 and named avenues like Yacht Ave and Vale Ave, illustrates the systematic parceling of the Minnesota prairie.
