2022 Map of Ellerth

About this map

Ellerth and the surrounding agricultural lands of Marshall County are defined by the intricate drainage systems of the Red River Valley. The meandering paths of the Snake River and Middle River cross the landscape, which is further managed by man-made channels such as Main Judicial Ditch Number Fifteen. This modern survey reveals a highly organized township-and-range grid, where local roads like Co Hwy 4 and 340th St NW provide access to the vast fields. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies key community sites including Bethania Cem and Bethesda Cem, which stand as landmarks of the area's social history. The sparse settlement pattern reflects the modern era of large-scale farming, where the original rail-side village has transitioned into a quiet crossroads within a productive prairie landscape.
