About this map

Upsala serves as the primary hub of this central Minnesota landscape, situated at the junction of Co Hwy 21 and N Main St. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of wetlands and small water bodies, including Tamarack Lake and Lake Beautiful. The settlement pattern is deeply connected to local heritage, evidenced by the numerous religious sites and burial grounds such as Covenant Church Cem, Gethsemane Lutheran Church Cem, and Upsala Memorial Cem.

Further south, the community of Saint Francis sits near the border of Morrison Co and Stearns Co, while Elmdale occupies the eastern edge along Elmdale Cr. The drainage of the N Two River and its tributaries provides a complex hydrological backdrop to the rural grid. This map documents a region where small-town centers and country churches remain the anchors of a landscape interspersed with extensive glacial lakes and marshes.
