2013 Map of Erie NE

About this map

Beltrami, Marshall, and Pennington counties converge in this low-lying Minnesota landscape, where the survey lines of the public land system dictate the modern road network. The terrain is defined by complex wetland patterns and irregular water bodies that challenge the rigid grid of rural routes. Vital transit corridors like Co Hwy-28 and Res Hwy 26 provide the primary connections through this northern territory, while a system of secondary gravel and dirt roads, including Wells Rd NW and Sharon Rd NW, serve the outlying areas. The map illustrates the 2013 state of rural infrastructure at the triple-county boundary, where the heavy presence of marshland has historically limited dense settlement in favor of large-scale land management and natural drainage patterns.
