2019 Map of Harold

About this map

Hafslo Cem sits at the center of this Polk County landscape, a marker of the local ancestry in this section of the Red River Valley. The terrain is characterized by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure, including the long reaches of County Ditch Number One Hundred Forty and County Ditch Number One Hundred Fiftyeight, which transformed this low-lying region into productive agricultural land. The diagonal route of the Agassiz Trail cuts across the township grid, following the ancient shoreline of a prehistoric glacial lake. Small rural centers like Benoit and Harold anchor the intersection of county roads, while the southern portion of the sheet is drained by the winding course of Burnham Cr. The map preserves the 19th-century Public Land Survey System boundaries, showing the precise division of T149N and T148N across the prairie.
