2013 Map of Karlstad SW

About this map

Kittson and Marshall counties meet along the high plains of northwest Minnesota in this 2013 survey. The landscape is defined by a strictly organized grid of township roads and section lines, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in this agricultural region. Small, private family plots and community graveyards such as Pederson Burials, Edward Johnson Cem, and Oslo Lutheran Cem serve as quiet landmarks among the expansive fields. Transport across this corner of the state is anchored by Mn-11, which cuts a straight line east-to-west, and Csah 18, marking the boundary between the two counties. This map captures the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, where numbered roads like Co Hwy 1 and 270th Ave NW connect isolated farmsteads and historic family holdings.
