2019 Map of Jelle

About this map

The unincorporated community of Jelle sits within a vast expanse of wetland in northern Beltrami County. This 2019 survey illustrates the sparse, grid-based road network that services this remote portion of Minnesota, centered around Thorhult Rd NW and Jelle Rd NW. The landscape is dominated by the complex hydrography of the region, where numerous small water bodies and marshlands dictate the placement of human settlement and transport. Small rural routes such as Magnuson Rd NW, Shack Ln NW, and Clifford Ln NW provide the only access points into the surrounding wilderness. The map captures the intersection of several townships, including t155n r37w and t154n r38w, reflecting a late 20th and early 21st-century pattern of land management in an area where the natural environment remains the primary feature.
