About this map

The Burlington Northern railroad corridor anchors this survey of Polk County, Minnesota, during a period of established agricultural and conservation land use. The town of McIntosh serves as the primary hub in the southeast, while the surrounding landscape is defined by the Poplar River and a dense network of glacial water bodies including Oak Lake, Frisk Lake, and Berg Lake.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous recorded burial grounds, such as Trinity Ch Cem, New Sweden Cem, and St Johns Cem. The region is notably dedicated to environmental stewardship, with large tracts set aside for the Polk State Wildlife Management Area and the National Waterfowl Production Area. Distinctive local landmarks like the Win-E-Mac Golf Course and the Erskine Municipal Airport reflect the mid-century development of local recreation and infrastructure alongside traditional township life.
