2022 Map of Gentilly

About this map

Red Lake River meanders sharply through the landscape of northwestern Minnesota, defining the northern geography of this quadrangle near the settlement of Huot. The waterway is joined by several tributaries, including the Black River and Kripple Cr, while the southern portion of the map is dominated by the course of the Gentilly River and the rural community of Gentilly. The region's reliance on managed drainage is evident in large-scale infrastructure like County Ditch Number One Hundred Fiftyeight, which cuts through the southern townships. Local history is anchored by sites like Saint Peters Cem and Huot Cem, which mark the presence of early prairie settlements. The intricate river bends and section-line roads like Co HWY 17 and Co RD 212 reflect a rural economy long tied to the fertile plains at the border of Red Lake and Polk Counties.
