2016 Map of Beltrami

About this map

Beltrami sits at the heart of this Polk County landscape, defined by a highly structured drainage network essential for agriculture in the Red River Valley. The map documents an intricate system of waterways, including County Ditch Number One Hundred Nineteen, County Ditch Number Fortysix, and County Ditch Number Seventythree, which channel water across the flat terrain toward the Sand Hill River and Maple Cr. This 2016 survey illustrates the grid-based development of the region, where a dense network of township roads like 230th Ave SW and 400th St SW serves local farmsteads. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies significant sites such as Fairview Cem just south of the town center and Scandia Cem located further west, marking the locations of early community gathering points and family histories.
