2013 Map of Ada NW

About this map

The Polk Co and Norman Co boundary line divides this agricultural landscape in northwestern Minnesota, where the drainage patterns of the Red River Valley are clearly defined. The winding course of the Marsh River meanders through the southwestern section, contrasting sharply with the straight, engineered lines of the local water management system, including Judicial Ditch Number Fiftytwo and Judicial Ditch Number Fiftythree. These ditches reflect the intensive land reclamation efforts necessary to support the region's large-scale farming operations. Near the center of the map, Bethany Cem stands as a quiet landmark along Co Hwy-3, serving the surrounding rural community. The township grid is marked by a network of local roads such as 300th Ave and 260th Ave, which facilitate the movement of goods across this low-lying prairie terrain.
