2019 Map of Fosston East

About this map

Fosston and its immediate eastern landscape are defined by a dense concentration of glacial lakes and small cemeteries that anchor the local community. The town's grid, featuring streets like 1st St NE and 4th St NE, gives way to a complex hydrography where First Lake, Second Lake, and Third Lake sit just outside the settlement. The map reveals a high density of burial grounds, including Rosehill Cem, Landstad Cem, and Kingo Cem, suggesting a long-established rural population with deep ties to the land. This pattern of small, scattered cemeteries such as Poplar Lake Cem and Cross Lake Cem reflects the historical importance of local church congregations in the development of Polk County. The landscape is further shaped by the flow of the Poplar River and the Sand Hill River, which connect several larger bodies of water like Turtle Lake and Sand Hill Lake.
