2016 Map of Melvin
USGS Topo · Published 2016About this map
Melvin sits in the northeastern corner of this Polk County landscape, a region defined by a sophisticated network of agricultural water management. The flat prairie is crisscrossed by extensive engineering projects like County Ditch Number One Hundred Nineteen and Judicial Ditch Number Fiftythree, reflecting the 20th-century transformation of the Red River Valley into a productive farming powerhouse. Natural water features still remain, including the winding Sand Hill River and the marshy expanse of Melvin Slough.
