About this map

Oklee serves as the central hub of this northern Minnesota landscape, situated at the intersection of several local routes like CO Hwy 6 and CO Rd 131. The town's grid is clearly defined, with streets such as Lambert St and Bourden St radiating from the core near Elevator Rd. This area reflects a highly engineered agricultural environment, where the natural course of the Lost River is augmented by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure, including the State Ditch Number Sixtyone and Judicial Ditch Number Seventyone.

For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies key community landmarks such as Zion Cem north of town and Saint Francis Xavier Cem to the south. The transition from the Lost River in the north to the Hill River in the south illustrates the subtle topographical shifts of the Red Lake and Polk County border region, where the land is meticulously partitioned into sections for modern cultivation and water management.
