2019 Map of Alvarado

About this map

Alvarado serves as the primary hub of this Red River Valley landscape, situated just north of the Marshall Co Polk Co line. This 2019 survey illustrates a highly organized agricultural grid, where the winding course of the Snake River provides a sharp natural contrast to the geometric section lines of the Public Land Survey System. The river meanders across the southern half of the map, cutting through townships including t154n r49w and t154n r48w. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several established burial grounds, including Oak Lawn Cem on the outskirts of town, Vega Cem to the north, and Nyskoga Cem near the southern boundary. The small settlement of March appears further east along the river, connected by a network of rural routes such as Co Hwy 10 and Co RD 103 that define the movement of goods and people across these prairie lands.
