2019 Map of Newfolden

About this map

The Middle River winds through the northern portion of this Marshall County landscape, anchoring the settlement of Newfolden. This region is defined by its agricultural grid and an extensive water management system, most notably the Main Judicial Ditch Number Fifteen which runs vertically through the western sections. For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, identifying Augustana Cem, Oak Grove Cem, Westaker Cem, Sorenson Cem, Bjorsness Cem, and Bethlehem Cem. These sites are distributed across the townships, often associated with early family names and pioneer congregations. The transit corridor is marked by Railway St and Railroad St N, tracing the path of the rail line that spurred the town's development. The surrounding sections, such as t156n r44w, reveal a meticulously surveyed landscape of county roads and section lines typical of the Red River Valley's eastern edge.
