2019 Map of Erskine

About this map

Erskine serves as the central hub of this Polk County landscape, situated at a junction of roads and rail lines near the shores of Cameron Lake. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial water bodies and managed waterways, including Badger Lake, Bee Lake, and Eighteen Lake. These lakes are interconnected by features like County Ditch Number One Hundred Eleven and Judicial Ditch Number Seventythree, reflecting a long history of water management to support the region's agricultural productivity. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several established burial grounds, such as Saron Lutheran Cem and Rodnes Cem, which sit alongside rural routes like Co Rd 210. A variety of recreational paths, including the Tamarac Lake Trail and Golden Pond Trail, wind through the wetlands and woodlands, highlighting the area's modern character as a place where local transit and outdoor access intersect with traditional farming acreage.
