About this map

Espelie Cem sits in the northeastern corner of this rural Minnesota landscape, illustrating the scattered settlement patterns typical of this borderland between Marshall Co and Pennington Co. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of wetlands and small water bodies that dictate the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, as seen in the straight lines of 250th St NE and 350th Ave NE.

Genealogists can find several key local landmarks, including the Jerusalem Cem near the western boundary and the Rosindhall Cem located along Co Rd 63 to the south. This area is dominated by agricultural sections and marshy lowlands, with local travel facilitated by routes like Co Hwy 64. The transition between townships, such as t155n r39w and t154n r39w, shows the meticulous organization of this sparsely populated region during the mid-2010s.
