2013 Map of Beltrami SW

About this map

Zion Cem stands as a quiet focal point in this portion of Polk County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of engineered drainage systems and the natural course of the Sand Hill River. This 2013 survey illustrates the highly organized agricultural infrastructure of the Red River Valley, characterized by a massive grid of ditches including County Ditch Number One Hundred Nineteen, County Ditch Number Fortysix, and the long span of Judicial Ditch Number Fiftyseven. The map reveals the systematic transformation of the terrain for farming, with section lines and rural routes like Co HWY-1 and Co HWY-14 providing the primary framework for local movement. The presence of County Ditch Number Eightysix and County Ditch Number Seventythree further emphasizes the scale of hydrological management necessary for the region's productivity.
