2022 Map of Mavie

About this map

Mavie serves as the central focal point of this rural landscape, situated just south of the border dividing Marshall Co and Pennington Co. The terrain is defined by an extensive network of wetlands and seasonal water bodies, particularly concentrated in the northern sections of the map. A strict orthogonal grid of section lines and gravel roads, including Co Hwy 2 and Co Rd 64, imposes order on the low-lying prairie and marshland. Located in the northeastern quadrant, the Germantown Cem provides a significant touchstone for genealogical research, marking the location of an early community in this pocket of northern Minnesota. This survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the contemporary agricultural and natural state of the region, illustrating the persistence of small settlements and traditional land divisions in the modern era.
