About this map

Fertile occupies a key position at the bend of the Sand Hill River, serving as the primary hub for this portion of Polk County. The town's layout is anchored by a series of significant local heritage sites, including the Saint Joseph Catholic Cem and First Evangel Lutheran Church Cem located near the river's edge. To the north, the Fertile Municipal Airport and the sprawling Agassiz Recreational Trail-Polk County Trl follow the path of a former transportation corridor, cutting diagonally across the prairie landscape.

The surrounding territory is marked by the presence of numerous small water bodies such as Cheese Brown Lake and Little Andrew Lake, characteristic of the glacial terrain. History hunters can trace the alignment of the Pembina Trl, while genealogists will find several outlying burial grounds like the Varnes Lutheran Cem and Concordia Cem situated along the section lines and rural routes that define this agricultural region.
