2016 Map of Greenview

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Polk County is defined here by an extensive network of water management, illustrated by numerous engineered channels like County Ditch Number One Hundred Fortythree and County Ditch Number One Hundred Fortyfour. These numbered ditches form a rigid grid that facilitates the drainage of the Red River Valley, intersecting with the natural meanders of Burnham Cr. The map captures the small settlements of Burwell in the northeast and Greenview to the south, which serve as quiet hubs for the surrounding farmsteads. A high-density grid of gravel and paved roads, including Co RD 214 and Co HWY 45, connects these rural outposts. The survey reflects the meticulous organization of the Public Land Survey System, with section lines and township boundaries such as t149n r46w clearly demarcating the productive prairie land.
