1982 Map of Marcoux Corners

About this map

The Red Lake River and Clearwater River converge in this section of northwestern Minnesota, anchoring the landscape near the town of Red Lake Falls. This early 1980s data highlights a region defined by its water management and agricultural infrastructure, from the straight lines of Judicial Ditch No 14 to the winding course of Kripple Creek. Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint Cyr Cem in the north and the settlement of Kertsonville in the southwest, while the rural character of the land is further evidenced by various Gravel Pits and the Red Lake Falls Municipal Airport. The Burlington Northern railroad runs north-south through Lake Pleasant, connecting the small hubs of Townhall and Marcoux Corners. Protected natural spaces like the Stipa State Wildlife Management Area represent the preserved wetlands typical of Red Lake and Polk counties.
