2022 Map of Big Woods NE

About this map

Snake River and Tamarac River define the hydrography of this section of Marshall County, their meandering paths contrasting with the rigid geometry of the surrounding section lines. The landscape is heavily influenced by agricultural drainage, evidenced by the presence of Lateral Number One and Lateral Number Two that cut across the prairie. This 2022 survey documents a sparsely populated rural landscape where human presence is primarily marked by a grid of local roads like 420th St NW and 480th Ave NW. Near the southern edge, the Fork Cem serves as a lone genealogical landmark in an area dominated by large-scale farming and township boundaries including t158n r50w and t157n r49w.
