About this map

Saint Francis Xavier Cem stands as a focal point for family history within this agricultural landscape of Red Lake County. The terrain is defined by a series of meandering waterways that cut through the grid of section lines, including the winding course of the Lost River in the north and the Hill River further south. These river systems, along with the smaller Brooks Cr, dictate the drainage and development patterns of the region.

A network of county roads, such as Co Hwy 21 and Co Hwy 7, provides a structured frame for the surrounding farmsteads and rural townships. The map documents the boundary between Red Lake and Polk counties at the southern edge, illustrating the precise transition between these two jurisdictions. This detailed survey provides a clear view of the intersection between natural hydrology and the persistent rectangular survey system that characterizes the Minnesota prairie.
