About this map

The settlement of West Union and its surrounding agricultural landscape are the focus of this contemporary survey, situated along the border of Todd and Stearns Counties. Interstate 94 cuts diagonally across the terrain, passing just north of West Union Lake and south of the town center. The topography is defined by its glacial hydrology, with numerous small water bodies and wetlands such as William Lake, Guernsey Lake, and Slough Lake scattered across the township lines.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of rural landmarks, including several historic burial sites like the Sauk Valley Lutheran Church Cem, Elim Cem, and Silver Creek Cem. The northern section of the map captures a portion of Osakis on the shores of Lake Osakis, while the Sauk River and its accompanying Sauk River Trl provide a natural corridor through the northern sections of the map.
