2022 Map of Fisher

About this map

The Red Lake River meanders through the heart of this landscape, its tight oxbows and recursive loops defining the area's geography just east of the North Dakota border. The town of Fisher sits near the river's northern banks, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural prairie. The land here is highly managed, evidenced by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure including County Ditch Number One Hundred Thirty-four and County Ditch Number One Hundred Seventeen, which cut straight lines across the naturally winding drainage of Grand Marais Creek. Cultural and genealogical interest is found in the high concentration of burial sites near the settlement, such as Fisher Cem, Fisher Lutheran Cem, and Greenwood Cem. To the east, the small settlement of Freeman marks the edge of the survey, where the river continues its erratic course toward Burnham Cr.
