2022 Map of Pelan SE

About this map

The Bethlehem Cem sits near the northern boundary of this agricultural landscape along 150th St, serving as a primary point of interest for genealogists tracing families in the Pelan area. The map illustrates a highly managed water system essential for the region's farming economy, characterized by the prominent Lateral Ditch Number Nine in the northeast and Judicial Ditch Number Nineteen cutting across the southern sections. These artificial waterways highlight the massive 20th-century drainage efforts required to utilize the low-lying prairie land. The border between Roseau and Marshall counties bisects the sheet, following the straight line of 460th St NW. The landscape is further defined by a rigid grid of rural roads like Co Rd 8 and Co Rd 23, which provide access to the remote township sections of T159N R44W and T158N R44W.
