1957 Map of Newfolden

About this map

Newfolden and Strandquist serve as the primary hubs for this agricultural landscape in Marshall County, defined by the winding course of the Middle River and the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroad. The 1957 topography reveals a community structured around a network of country churches and rural schools, such as Edgewood Sch and Mamrelund Ch. A high density of local cemeteries, including Oak Grove Cem, Sorenson Cem, and Bethesda Cem, provides essential data points for genealogists tracing family histories in townships like Lincoln and Marsh Grove. The settlement of Ellerth and landmarks like the Town Hall reflect the civic organization of this Red River Valley region during the late 1950s, while the Snake River cuts through the southern reaches near Viking.
