2019 Map of Big Woods

About this map

Big Woods sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in Marshall County, defined by the winding paths of several important northern waterways. The Red River of the North forms the western boundary, separating Minnesota from North Dakota, while the Snake River and Middle River meander across the plains to the east. This region is characterized by a precise grid of rural roads, including Co Hwy 4 and Co Hwy 19, which delineate the farmsteads and fields. Local heritage is preserved at the North Big Woods Cem and Big Woods Cem, providing vital geographic anchors for genealogists tracing families in this river-border community. The map reveals the intersection of natural river dynamics and organized land division at the edge of the Red River Valley.
