2013 Map of Ellerth

About this map

Ellerth serves as the quiet focal point of this rural Marshall County landscape, where the agricultural grid is defined by a series of numbered avenues and streets. The terrain is characterized by the meandering paths of the Snake River in the west and the Middle River in the northeast, reflecting the natural drainage patterns of this northern Minnesota region. Human intervention in the landscape is evident through the Main Judicial Ditch Number Fifteen, a significant water management feature designed to support the area's farming economy. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies two key sites: Bethania Cem and Bethesda Cem, both located near the settlement of Ellerth. These features, along with the precise layout of section lines and gravel roads, document the established community structure of this prairie environment as it appeared in the early 21st century.
