2013 Map of Donaldson

About this map

Donaldson occupies the center of this 2013 survey of the northwestern Minnesota prairie, where the section-line grid of the Red River Valley meets the transportation corridors of Us-75 and Mn-11. The map documents a landscape defined by industrial agriculture and straight-line roads, such as Commercial St and 1st St, which form the small town's core. Just north of the village, Hillcrest Cem serves as a local landmark for genealogical research. The southern portion of the sheet is marked by the jurisdictional boundary between Kittson Co and Marshall Co, running along Csah 18. This transition from township roads like TWP HWY T-144 to county highways illustrates the organized settlement pattern of this rural region, anchored by the local Po at the crossroads of regional commerce.
