2013 Map of Oklee SW

About this map

Brooks sits at the western edge of this agricultural landscape in northwestern Minnesota, where the drainage of Brooks Cr meets the larger systems of the Hill River and Lost River. The map captures the organized grid of rural life, anchored by the Saint Francis Xavier Cem in the northeast. This area, spanning the boundary between Red Lake County and Polk County, is defined by its watercourses which cut meandering paths through the flat terrain. Local transit and commerce are facilitated by Mn-92, while specialized landmarks like the Oklee Racetrack reflect the social and recreational fabric of the community. The presence of well-established roads like Co Hwy-8 and 280th Ave SE illustrates a landscape fully integrated into the regional farming economy.
