2016 Map of Middle River NE

About this map

Middle River winds through the southwestern corner of this Marshall County landscape, where the flat terrain is defined by a grid of agricultural roads and extensive wetlands. The region reflects the traditional land division of the Public Land Survey System, with township lines like t158n r42w and t157n r42w partitioning the prairie. Local heritage is centered around small rural gathering places, notably the Riverside Cem near the riverbanks and the Evangelical Cem further south along 360th St NE. To the southeast, the Tamarack Pool and the headwaters of the Thief River signal a transition into more saturated marshlands, illustrating the complex hydrology of northern Minnesota's peatlands and drainage basins.
