2010 Map of Fertile

About this map

The Sand Hill River meanders through this Polk County landscape, anchored by the settlement of Fertile. The town serves as a local hub, featuring the Fertile Post Office, a municipal airport, and the Fertile Golf Course along the riverbanks. For genealogists and local historians, the map is a significant record of the community's burial grounds, including Varnes Lutheran Cemetery to the west and a cluster of sites near the town center: Saint Josephs Cemetery, Concordia Cemetery, and Pleasant Hill Cemetery. The infrastructure reflects a blend of historic routes and modern utility, with the Pembina Trl and the Agassiz Recreational Trl cutting diagonally across the section lines. Water features like Little Andrew Lake and Cheese Brown Lake dot the northern reaches, while the Sand Hill River Dam controls the flow just west of the main settlement.
