2013 Map of Fosston SE

About this map

The boundary between Polk Co and Clearwater Co defines the eastern portion of this northern Minnesota landscape, a region marked by a complex network of wetlands and river headwaters. In 2013, the terrain is characterized by the meandering paths of the Hill River, Lost River, and Poplar River, which drain through numerous unnamed depressions and lakes typical of the state's glacial till plains. Transportation follows a strict section-line grid, dominated by Us-2 and Co HWY-1, which provide transit across the rural countryside. For those researching local families, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites. Several churchyards and community resting places, including Cross Lake Cem, Saint Peter Cem, Oakland Cem, and Freedom Cem, are distributed throughout the agricultural blocks, often situated near water bodies like Cross Lake or along the arterial roads like Co HWY-7.
