1982 Map of Ellerth

About this map

The agrarian landscape of Marshall County is defined here by the meeting of the Middle River and Snake River, where a complex network of man-made waterways like Main Judicial Ditch No 15 and County Ditch No 23 support the flat plains of Marsh Grove and West Valley. This 1982 survey captures the small community of Ellerth, anchored by the Bethania Ch and the nearby Bethesda Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the region's infrastructure, including a prominent pipeline and several Gravel Pits, illustrating the intersection of natural drainage and systematic land management in northwestern Minnesota. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of specific churches, cemeteries, and township boundaries like New Maine and Viking offers a clear look at the settlement patterns of the late twentieth century.
