About this map

Hill River and the Poplar River meander through this section of Polk County, defining a landscape of glacial lakes and prairie wetlands. The region's Lutheran heritage is evident in the presence of Vernes Lutheran Cem, while other local history is preserved at Oakland Cem, Asphalt Cem, and Olivet Cem. The terrain is characterized by numerous named bodies of water, from the larger Hill River Lake and Evenmoe Lake to smaller basins like Wardeberg Lake and Syverson Lake. The Public Land Survey System grid is clearly established here, with townships t149n r41w, t149n r40w, t148n r41w, and t148n r40w meeting in this quadrangle. This layout organizes the rural road network, which connects scattered farms and local landmarks such as Hedlund Lake and Kelly Lake.
