About this map

Sugar Bush Lake and a dense network of glacial water bodies dominate this Polk County landscape, reflecting the intricate hydrology of northwestern Minnesota. The Wild Rice River meanders across the southern portion of the sheet, fed by a series of drainages including Sugar Bush Creek and Island Lake Creek. This area is characterized by family-named landmarks such as Matt Ayers Lake, Simonson Lake, and Snetsinger Lake, which point to the history of local settlement and land ownership. Cultural sites are concentrated along the roadway network, most notably at the Saint Agnes Catholic Cemetery located along County Hwy-4 on the eastern edge. The map captures a largely rural, water-defined environment where township roads like Pine Bend Rd connect isolated lakes like Annawaush Lake and Washington Lake through the undulating wetland terrain.
