2019 Map of Jelle NE

About this map

Beltrami County's low-lying wetlands dominate this northern Minnesota landscape, where a sparse network of section-line roads provides the only clear passage through the marshy terrain. The map's layout is defined by the intersections of several rural routes including Thorhult Rd Nw and Korstad Rd Nw, which trace the rigid Public Land Survey System boundaries across the townships of t155n r36w and t154n r36w. This 2019 survey shows a landscape where settlement is minimal, marked only by isolated thoroughfares like Van Pelt Rd Nw and Swenson St. The grid-like arrangement of these roads, including Red Willow Rd Nw and Richardson Rd Nw, suggests a history of land management and drainage efforts intended to navigate this saturated region of the state.
