2022 Map of Anthony

About this map

The Anthony settlement area of Norman County is defined by the winding course of the Marsh River, which cuts through the flat agricultural landscape of the Red River Valley. This modern survey illustrates the persistent imprint of early Norwegian Lutheran heritage through its concentrations of rural burial grounds, including the West Petri-East Marsh River Cem, East Marsh River Cem, and the Anthony Cem. To the south, the Concordia Menighed Cem further indicates the historical community centers that once anchored these townships. The landscape is structured by a rigid section-line road grid, featuring many unpaved routes such as 180th St and 250th Ave. While primarily agricultural, the presence of the Aslesen Airport near the western edge and large-scale water management projects like State-Ditch-Number-Sixty-eight highlight the modern infrastructure supporting this rural Minnesota region.
