2016 Map of Upsala

About this map

Upsala and the surrounding farmland of Morrison and Stearns counties are defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and small cemeteries that tell the story of early Swedish settlement. The map reveals a cluster of religious heritage sites near the town center, including Gethsemane Cem, Covenant Church Cem, and Saint Marys Cem. To the north, the landscape is punctuated by Tamarack Lake and the winding Little Two River, while the southern border at Saint Francis is marked by Lake Beautiful. The grid of county roads, such as Co HWY 21 and Co HWY 4, connects these rural hamlets across a terrain characterized by wetlands and small-scale agriculture. This survey provides a precise record of the regional drainage patterns involving N Two River and Elmdale Cr alongside the established parish cemeteries that serve as vital landmarks for local family history.
