About this map

The meandering Middle River snakes across this Marshall County landscape, defining the topography of an area primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System. The township boundaries of t157n r47w, t156n r47w, and t155n r47w reveal a rural community structured around a network of county highways and straight-line section roads. The distribution of local landmarks suggests a heritage rooted in communal and religious life, with several small burial grounds serving the surrounding homesteads. Genealogists and researchers can find the sites of Saint John's Cem in the north and the McCrea Cem to the south, along with the Alma Lutheran Cem and Alma Baptist Cem, which sit in close proximity near Co Hwy 19. The southern reaches are marked by Swift Coulee, a drainage feature that breaks the otherwise orderly grid of farm roads and fields.
