2016 Map of Trail

About this map

The boundary between Red Lake County and Polk County bisects this landscape of Northern Minnesota, where the small settlements of Trail and Gully serve as local hubs. The region is defined by its extensive water management systems, including the Judicial Ditch Number Seventy-two and County Ditch Number Eighty-nine, which navigate the wetlands surrounding the Lost River. This map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting several rural burial sites such as Saint Charles Borromeo Catholic Cemetery, Valley Lutheran Cemetery, and Mount Olive Cemetery. To the south, the terrain shifts near Breeze Lake, showing a network of rural routes like County Road 74 and Stine Drive that connect these remote homesteads and parishes.
