2013 Map of Alvarado

About this map

Alvarado sits at the intersection of MN-1 and MN-220 in the northwestern plains of Minnesota, where the township grid meets the meandering path of the Snake River. This 2013 survey captures the agricultural character of the region as it transitions between Marshall Co and Polk Co. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, as it documents several established burial grounds including Vega Cem, Oak Lawn Cem, and Nyskoga Cem, which anchor the surrounding rural sections. The small settlement of March appears further east along the highway, illustrating the sparse but deliberate distribution of communities across the flat river basin. The landscape is defined by its highly organized road network, featuring names like 440th Ave NW and 210th St NW, which facilitate the movement of goods through this productive farming corridor.
