Buffalo Coulee meanders across this rural section of Polk County, where the landscape is defined by the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System and agricultural road networks. The map details a quiet, sparsely settled region just east of the Traill County and Polk County border, which follows the winding course of a nearby river system. This 2020 U.S. Geological Survey production captures the enduring placement of community anchors like the Grue Lutheran Cem and Hillstead Cem in the north, and Salem Cem in the southeast. These cemeteries, situated along routes such as 14th St NE and Co Hwy 2, serve as primary markers for genealogists and local historians tracing the settlement patterns of families in the Red River Valley hinterlands.
