2022 Map of Drayton SE

About this map

The Kittson County and Marshall County border area in far northwest Minnesota reveals a landscape defined by the Public Land Survey System and a vast network of section-line roads. This survey of the Drayton SE quadrangle captures the rural character of the region, where the primary landmarks are established burial grounds serving the surrounding farming communities. Genealogical interest centers on Skjeberg Lutheran Cem, Telen Covenant Cem, and Eagle Point Cem, which serve as permanent records of the early Scandinavian and European settlers who claimed these homesteads. The terrain is notably flat, crossed by essential transit corridors like Co St Aid Hwy 18 and Co Hwy 16. The map illustrates how drainage and transport intersect along the North Dakota border, reflecting the agricultural endurance of the Red River Valley.
