2010 Map of Middle River NE

About this map

Middle River meanders across this rural section of Marshall County, defining a landscape dominated by the precise grid of the Public Land Survey System. The area is characterized by vast agricultural tracts partitioned by a network of gravel and paved roads, including County Hwy 48 and 170th Ave NE. Settlement patterns are reflected in the placement of quiet resting places such as Riverside Cemetery near the riverbank and Evangelical Cemetery further south. These sites, along with the eastern flow of the Thief River, provide the primary landmarks in a region defined by its productive prairie heritage. The reliance on section-line roads like 380th St NE illustrates the enduring layout of Minnesota's northwestern farm country in the early twenty-first century.
