2022 Map of Melvin

USGS Topo · Published 2022

About this map

The small settlement of Melvin sits in the northeast corner of this Polk County landscape, defined by a complex network of agricultural drainage and natural waterways. The southern portion of the area is drained by the Sand Hill River, while the northern section features Melvin Slough and the winding course of Maple Cr. This 2022 survey illustrates the highly structured section-line road system of the Red River Valley, where long-established rural landmarks persist despite the sparse population. Genealogists and local historians will find several key burial sites preserved here, including the Bethel Cem, Lone Star Cem, and Scott - Widrig Cem. The presence of substantial drainage projects like County Ditch Number One Hundred Nineteen and Judicial Ditch Number Fiftythree underscores the engineering efforts required to manage the flat, wetland-rich terrain of this Minnesota prairie region.
