2019 Map of Gentilly

About this map

The meandering Red Lake River dominates this portion of Polk County, carving a complex path through the agricultural landscape of northern Minnesota. This river system, joined by the Gentilly River and Kripple Cr, defines the local topography and historical settlement patterns. Near the river's winding banks, the small communities of Gentilly and Huot serve as local anchors. The map records several sites of significant genealogical interest, including Saint Peters Cem near the town of Gentilly and Huot Cem further north. The precision of the land use is visible in the network of county roads and the strictly engineered County Ditch Number One Hundred Fiftyeight, illustrating the long-standing efforts to manage the Red River Valley’s drainage for farming. This 2019 survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure, from the township lines like t150n r45w to the specific sections that define local property history.
