2013 Map of Gatzke

About this map

Gatzke stands as the primary settlement in this northern Minnesota landscape, where the grid of rural roads meets the winding course of the Moose River. The terrain is characterized by the expansive waters of Thief Lake in the northwest, which transitions into a network of drainage and creek systems like Webster Cr. This 2013 survey illustrates a late-modern rural layout where agricultural plots are interspersed with specialized aviation sites, including Hagens Private Airport and Paul Field Airport. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies critical genealogical landmarks such as the Moose River Cem located near the town center and the more distal Lundsted Cem to the east. The dominance of section-line roads like 300th Ave NE and 390th St NE highlights the enduring structure of the Public Land Survey System in Marshall County.
