About this map

Agricultural lands and isolated burial grounds define this section of the Red River Valley along the border of Kittson Co and Marshall Co. The landscape is etched with a strictly linear road network, including north-south corridors like 340th Ave and Co Hwy 150. Family history and local heritage are preserved in scattered sites such as the Oslo Lutheran Cem and Edward Johnson Cem, alongside the specifically identified Pederson Burials. These small, localized cemeteries amidst large-scale farming tracts suggest the enduring presence of early homesteading families in this prairie region. Significant portions of the township are designated as Farm Service Agency Interest of Minnesota, reflecting contemporary land management and conservation practices within the intensive agricultural environment of Northwest Minnesota.
