2010 Map of Fox

About this map

Fox sits at the junction of Old Hwy 11 and several local routes in this rural portion of Roseau County. The landscape is defined by the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, with roads like 290th St and 330th Ave marking the section lines across the flat agricultural terrain. This 2010 survey highlights the importance of managed hydrology in the region, prominently featuring the County Ditch Number Sixteen as it cuts across the northern fields. Genealogists will find the locations of Mellum Cemetery and Opdahl Cemetery particularly useful for tracing local family histories in this sparsely populated area of northern Minnesota. The map reflects a landscape dedicated to large-scale farming, where the original prairie has been systematically organized into a network of drainage ditches and county highways.
