2022 Map of Big Woods

About this map

Big Woods anchors this landscape in Marshall County, situated within a grid of agricultural section lines and rural thoroughfares. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of the Snake River and Middle River, which cut across the prairie landscape. To the west, the Red River of the North Trl follows the meandering course of the state boundary, marking the transition into North Dakota. Local history and genealogy interests are centered on the North Big Woods Cem and the southern Big Woods Cem, both of which serve as enduring landmarks for the area's early families. The road network, including Co Hwy 4 and Co Hwy 19, illustrates the systematic development of this fertile Red River Valley region into the 21st century.
