About this map

The small settlements of Trail and Gully anchor this rural landscape in northwestern Minnesota, connected by a network of county highways and local section roads. The area is defined by its agrarian character and water management systems, including the Lost River and extensive drainage works like Judicial Ditch Number Seventy-two and County Ditch Number Eighty-nine. Near the center of the sheet, the Trail Post Office serves the immediate community, while Breeze Lake provides a natural landmark to the south.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds across the township. Named sites include the West Valle Cemetery, Valley Lutheran Cemetery, Mount Olive Cemetery, Sand Valley Cemetery, and the Saint Charles Borromeo Catholic Cemetery. These landmarks reflect the cultural and religious heritage of the early settlers who established these communities in Polk County.
