2010 Map of Dorothy

About this map

Dorothy sits at the heart of this Red Lake County landscape, a small community defined by its proximity to the winding Little Black River. This 2010 survey illustrates the structured agricultural grid of northwestern Minnesota, where the drainage of the Black River system and the Red Lake River shape the fertile lowlands. A significant historical element preserved on the map is the path of the Pembina Trl, which cuts across the modern section lines as a diagonal legacy of early regional trade routes. Local genealogy and land use are anchored by the Saint Dorothy Cemetery, located just west of the primary settlement. The intersection of local county highways and township roads, such as County Hwy-13 and Twp Rd, demonstrates the established rural infrastructure that supports this prairie river valley.
