2019 Map of Gully

About this map

The village of Gully anchors the southwestern corner of this survey, where the local landscape transitions from organized agricultural plots to the expansive wetlands characteristic of northwestern Minnesota. Life in this rural corridor is centered around the small settlement and its community landmarks, including the Lund Lutheran Cem situated just outside the town limits. Further north, the Oak Grove Cem and Mathis Airport sit near the boundary line between Polk Co and Clearwater Co. The hydrology of the region is defined by the winding path of the Lost River and the engineered precision of the County Ditch Number Eighty-nine, illustrating the historical efforts to manage the prairie’s high water table for farming. A grid of county roads, such as Co Hwy 48 and Co Rd 7, provides the primary framework for movement between these remote farmsteads and township sections.
