About this map

Middle River meanders across this rural section of Marshall County, carving a distinct path through the flat agricultural landscape of northwestern Minnesota. The map reveals a community defined by its township-and-range grid, where local life centered on small religious and burial sites. Genealogists will find several notable locations, including Saint John's Cem to the north and the clustered Alma Lutheran Cem and Alma Baptist Cem further south. To the southeast, McCrea Cem sits near the junction of Co RD 3 NW and 260th ST NW. The terrain is generally level, interrupted primarily by the drainage of Swift Coulee and the river's winding course, which cuts through the otherwise uniform section lines and farm roads.
