2019 Map of West Union

About this map

The West Union settlement serves as a central point in this northern landscape, where the prairie meets the intricate hydrography of the Sauk River watershed. The terrain is defined by its glacial history, evidenced by numerous water bodies including West Union Lake, Guernsey Lake, and the southeastern reaches of Lake Osakis. The boundary between Todd and Stearns counties, marked by Stearns Line Rd, cuts through a patchwork of agricultural sections and natural drainage features like Silver Cr and Ashley Cr. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites across the townships, including Elim Cem in the north and Sauk Valley Cem near the river. The concentration of wetlands and small lakes like Slough Lake illustrates the characteristic topography of the region, where roads often deviate to navigate around low-lying marshlands.
