2013 Map of Angus

About this map

Angus sits as a central junction within the wide agricultural reaches of Polk County, where the diagonal line of Us-75 cuts across the cardinal grid of rural township roads. This landscape is defined by the rigid geometry of the public land survey system, evidenced by the numbered section lines of 290th Ave NW and 300th Ave NW. In the southwestern corner, Saint Pauls Cem provides a local genealogical anchor, serving the scattered farmstead community. While many rural areas have seen their centers shift over decades, the persistence of the settlement at Angus and the maintaining of the surrounding road network, including Field Rd and Center St W, reflect the long-standing stability of this Minnesota farming region in the early 21st century.
