About this map

Low-lying wetlands and a grid of rural section roads define this portion of the northern Minnesota plains, where the border between Marshall Co and Pennington Co runs through a landscape of marshes and small woodlots. The area is marked by several small, historic burial sites that speak to the early settlement of this region, including Espelie Cem, Jerusalem Cem, and Poplar Grove Cem in the north, and Rosendahl Cem further south. The drainage patterns and wetland inventories suggest a territory where agriculture and natural water retention coexist. Significant local thoroughfares like Co Hwy 53, Co Hwy 64, and Co Rd 95 provide the primary infrastructure for the scattered farmsteads and rural properties that punctuate the prairie.
