2019 Map of Fosston West

About this map

The Sand Hill River meanders across this landscape in northwestern Minnesota, defining a terrain shaped by glacial activity and modern agriculture. On the western outskirts of Fosston, the map reveals a network of section roads like 400th St SE and 410th St SE that segment the rural countryside into a precise grid. For those tracing family history, the presence of the Landsverk Cem and Hansville Cem provides specific points of interest within the townships of T148N and T147N. The area is dotted with numerous small bodies of water, including Ouff Lake, Strand Lake, and Homme Lake, which are characteristic of the prairie pothole region. The Fosston Municipal Airport sits near the eastern edge, marking a transition between the open fields and the organized streets of the town center.
