2022 Map of Fosston SE

About this map

Hill River and the Lost River wind through this pocket of the Red River Valley watershed, where the boundary between Polk and Clearwater counties divides a landscape of glacial wetlands and prairie. The map reveals a dense network of rural infrastructure, from the early established Saint Peter Lutheran Cem to several other family and community burial grounds including Cross Lake Cem and Fridhem Cem. This distribution of cemeteries along section lines and township roads such as 390th St SE suggests a historically settled agricultural community that has maintained its local landmarks. To the south, the Clearwater River and Poplar River frame the terrain, with Third Lake serving as a significant water feature in a region defined by its complex drainage patterns and secondary roads like Co Hwy 1.
