2013 Map of Felton NW

About this map

The Wild Rice River meanders across this rural landscape at the border of Norman and Clay Counties, defining the hydrology of the region. This 2013 survey reveals a strictly organized section-line grid of gravel and paved roads, reflecting the agricultural stability of the Red River Valley. Significant for genealogists, the map identifies three distinct burial grounds: Bethania Lutheran Cem in the western reaches, Landstad Cem further north, and Saint Marys Cem located along 200th St. These landmarks serve as the primary anchors for a dispersed farming community where the natural flow of Felton Cr provides a sharp contrast to the straight-line geometry of thoroughfares like Co Hwy-12.
