About this map

Oslo Cemetery stands as the primary landmark in this sparsely populated agricultural stretch of Kittson County, located near the intersection of County Hwy 11 and County Hwy 19. The landscape is defined by a rigorous township grid of gravel roads and section lines, typical of the Red River Valley region. Meandering stream beds break the geometric pattern of the fields, particularly south of Csah 18. The network of secondary routes, including 290th Ave NW and 450th St NW, provides a detailed look at the rural infrastructure and land divisions as they existed in the early twenty-first century. This survey documents the persistent rural character of the far northwestern corner of Minnesota, where long-established cemetery sites and county roads often provide the only named markers for family genealogists and local historians.
