About this map

The settlement of Harold sits at a crossroads in Polk County, serving as a focal point for this agricultural landscape near the Hafslo Cem. The terrain is defined by a sophisticated water management system designed for the Red River Valley's flat geography, including County Ditch Number One Hundred Fiftyeight and County Ditch Number One Hundred Forty. These engineered waterways, along with natural features like Burnham Cr, underscore the region's reliance on drainage for productive farming.

Diagonal movement through the township follows the Agassiz Recreational Trail (Polk County Tr), which cuts a distinct path from Harold toward the small community of Benoit. This trail follows a historic transportation corridor, providing a clear line of sight across the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, which otherwise dictates the grid of local roads such as Co Hwy 46 and 300th St SW.
