2010 Map of Girard

About this map

Burnham Creek winds through this agricultural landscape in Polk County, following a meandering path that breaks the rigid section lines of the surrounding prairie. This 2010 survey captures the quiet rural character of the area, centered on the small settlements of Girard and Wilds. The landscape is largely defined by its rectilinear road network, including County Hwy-14 and County Hwy-217, which facilitate the region's farming economy. Historical researchers will find significant genealogical sites such as Andover Cemetery situated near the creek and Hanna Cemetery further south. The path of Highway 75 cuts diagonally across the northern portion of the quadrangle, serving as the primary corridor connecting these remote communities to the larger regional centers like Crookston.
