About this map

Small country cemeteries and river headwaters define this landscape along the Polk Co Clearwater Co line. These rural townships are stitched together by a grid of county roads and township routes, including Co Hwy 1 and Co Hwy 22, which navigate a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies. Genealogical interest is concentrated in several dispersed burial grounds, such as Freedom Cem, Oakland Cem, and Our Savior's Cem.

The hydrography of the region is characterized by winding channels like the Hill River, Lost River, and the Clearwater River. In the southern reaches, the Poplar River flows near the settlement of Ebro, which sits at the junction of the section lines. The drainage patterns and topographic contours reveal a glacial landscape where small lakes, including Third Lake, are frequently interrupted by pockets of marshland.
