About this map

The boundary between Kittson and Marshall Counties defines the southern portion of this landscape, where the flat terrain is meticulously organized by the Public Land Survey System. Small, family-associated burial sites are scattered among the section lines, reflecting the early settlement patterns of this agrarian region. Notable markers of local history include the Edward Johnson Cemetery, located in the north-central area, and the Oslo Cemetery further north. These sites, along with the Pederson Burials, provide important anchor points for genealogical research in a region dominated by a grid of county roads and state aid highways. The drainage patterns and wetlands shown here illustrate the subtle topography that influenced the placement of farms and transit routes like County State Aid Highway 18 and County Highway 1.
