2019 Map of Erie

About this map

The Red Lake River meanders through the southern reaches of this Pennington County landscape, providing a natural contrast to the rigid section lines that define the region's agricultural layout. This area, largely organized by a network of rural routes such as 340th Ave NE and Center St E, reflects a history of community and kinship rooted in the soil. Scattered throughout these sections are several landmarks essential for local genealogical research, including the Czech National Cem and Ekelund Cem. The presence of the Star Cem and Reiner Cem further emphasizes the cultural layers of the township. This 2019 survey documents the enduring spatial arrangement of a rural Minnesota interior where traditional land divisions intersect with the natural path of the river, maintaining a layout that has likely persisted for generations.
