About this map

Sand Hill River snakes across this section of Polk County, defining a landscape shaped by glacial recession and prairie potholes. The terrain is a dense network of water bodies, including Cable Lake, Lake Arthur, and the namesake Halverson Lake. These natural features dictated the early settlement patterns of the region, where township lines like t148n r44w and t147n r44w intersect with a grid of rural section roads such as Co Hwy 10 and Co Hwy 34.

For local historians, the presence of the Little Norway Cem and Maple Lake Cem provides essential genealogical anchors in an area where the small community of Rindal serves as a primary landmark. The map detail reflects the transition from early water-focused settlements to the established agricultural road network of the modern era, capturing the persistent drainage patterns of Garden Slough and various unnamed wetlands.
