2010 Map of Middle River

About this map

Middle River serves as the focal point of this agricultural landscape in Marshall County, with the meandering waterway of the same name providing the primary drainage across the flat terrain. The settlement pattern is defined by a rigorous section-line grid of roads, including 130th Ave NE and 380th St NE, which connect the isolated homesteads and fields. The map is particularly notable for its density of burial sites, reflecting the diverse early community of this region. Family and denominational roots are evident at Finnish Lutheran Cemetery, Woodman Cemetery, and the Spruce Valley Cemetery. Further west, the Gaarde Cemetery and the northern Huntly Cemetery mark the enduring presence of long-established rural congregations and early settlers in this quiet corner of northern Minnesota.
