2019 Map of Perley

About this map

The Red River of the North winds in tight, dramatic meanders along the border of Minnesota and North Dakota, defining the western edge of this agricultural landscape. The small settlement of Perley is the primary hub, situated near the intersection of Co Rd 106 and 120th Ave. This area is heavily defined by its Lutheran heritage, visible through several community focal points like the Nora Lutheran Church and its accompanying Nora Lutheran Church Cem. The landscape is a grid of section lines and rural roads, such as Co Rd 4 and 100th Ave, crossing the fertile plains where the Wild Rice River joins the larger drainage system. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial sites, including Old Bethlehem Lutheran Cem, Kirkebo Cem, and the Pioneer Cem.
