2010 Map of Angus

About this map

Angus serves as the central point of this Red River Valley agricultural landscape, situated at a major diagonal road junction in Polk County. The terrain is defined by a precise rectilinear grid of section roads and drainage patterns, characteristic of the expansive farming operations in Northwest Minnesota. Local genealogy and history are anchored by two distinct burial sites located at opposite ends of the quadrangle: Saint Pauls Cemetery in the southwest and Prairie View Cemetery in the southeast. A network of secondary routes like County Hwy-67 and 140th St NW connects the dispersed farmsteads to the primary transit corridor, while seasonal waterways meander across the flat prairie soil, illustrating the sophisticated water management required for regional cultivation.
