2013 Map of Fertile

About this map

Fertile occupies a central position in this Polk County landscape, where the meandering course of the Sand Hill River defines the local topography south of the town center. The 2013 survey illustrates a community shaped by its waterways and transport corridors, with the Sand Hill River Reservoir providing a distinct hydrological feature. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies several significant burial sites, including Varnes Lutheran Cem to the northwest and a cluster of cemeteries on the eastern edge of town, such as Concordia Cem and Saint Josephs Cem. The presence of the Pembina Trl and various county highways like Co HWY-41 suggests the long-standing importance of this region as a transit point. Beyond the residential grid, the landscape transitions into a mix of small lakes including Cheese Brown Lake and Kurass Lake, alongside recreational and utility spaces like the Fertile Golf Course and Fertile Municipal Airport.
