About this map

Brooks serves as the primary hub in this Red Lake County landscape, situated where Us-59 and MN-92 converge. The village is characterized by its local institutions, including the Po and neighboring cemeteries such as Saint Joseph Cem and Presbyterian Cem. The geography of the region is defined by a complex network of waterways that underscore the agricultural drainage systems of northern Minnesota, including County Ditch Number Seventeen and County Ditch Number Four.

The natural drainage is equally prominent, with the Clearwater River and Lost River meandering across the northern sections, while the Poplar River and Hill River flow through the eastern reaches. The map also records the boundary line between Red Lake Co and Polk Co to the south, near Beau Gerlot Cr and Upper Badger Cr. This survey provides a clear view of the rural road grid and the hydraulic engineering required to manage this low-lying prairie terrain.
