2019 Map of Gatzke

About this map

Gatzke stands as the central hub of this northern Minnesota landscape, where the agricultural grid meets the expansive wetlands and marshes of Marshall County. The northern reaches are dominated by Thief Lake and the meandering course of the Moose River, which winds eastward through heavy swamp and low-lying brush. This 2019 survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, defined by a strictly organized network of section lines and gravel roads such as Co Hwy 6 and 380th St NE. Local history is anchored by the Moose River Cem and Lundsted Cem, while modern land use is visible in the presence of aviation markers like Hagens Private Airport and Paul Field. To the southwest, the waters of Webster Cr filter through the marshland, emphasizing the intricate water management required in this prairie-wetland transition zone.
