2016 Map of Foxhome

About this map

Foxhome sits at the intersection of rural agriculture and systematic water management in this western Minnesota landscape near the border of Wilkin and Otter Tail counties. The settlement is clearly defined by its residential grid, including Broadway Ave, Denniston Ave, and Main St. Outside the town center, the landscape is dominated by a precise section-line road network and engineered waterways such as County Ditch Number Thirty One and County Ditch Number Three-Two, which reflect the region's long-standing efforts to reclaim prairie land for intensive farming. Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant landmarks, including the Foxhome Cem just west of the village and the more isolated Burau Cem situated in the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The map captures the quiet, steady character of these plains, where the land is divided into named townships like t133n r45w and t134n r44w.
