2013 Map of Fosston West

About this map

The Fosston area in Polk County is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and prairie waterways that shape the landscape of northern Minnesota. This 2013 survey details the western approach to the city, where Us-2 serves as the primary corridor across a terrain of agricultural fields and wetland depressions. Smaller water bodies like Strand Lake, Ouff Lake, and Homme Lake are interspersed throughout the township, while the Sand Hill River and Poplar River provide natural drainage across the quadrangle. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies specific landmarks such as Landsverk Cem and Hansville Cem, alongside public facilities like the Fosston Municipal Airport and the City of Fosston Campground. The placement of these rural cemeteries and lake-bound settlements illustrates the 21st-century footprint of this long-established farming community.
