2011 Map of Big Woods

About this map

The Snake River meanders across this rural Marshall County landscape, meeting the Red River of the North along the western boundary of the quadrangle. In the early 21st century, this area remains defined by its agricultural grid and river-bound topography. The settlement of Big Woods serves as a central point, situated along County Hwy-139 near the river's bend. Genealogy researchers will find interest in the documented locations of Big Woods Cemetery and Malm Cemetery, which are preserved alongside local routes like County Hwy-41 and 450th Ave NW. The map also captures the northern flow of the Middle River as it cuts through the uppermost sections of the territory, illustrating the hydrological network that has shaped the region's development since its early settlement.
