2019 Map of Randen Ridge

About this map

Moose River meanders across this low-lying stretch of Marshall County, defining a landscape dominated by extensive wetlands and brushland. The terrain is notably level, with the exception of the subtle rise of Randen Ridge, which provides a slight elevation contrast to the surrounding marshy ground. This 2019 survey documents a sparsely populated rural district where human activity is organized around a strictly defined section-line road grid, including 370th St NE and 380th St NE. The presence of the Randen Cem near the northern edge, situated along Randen Ridge Rd, suggests the historical center of this remote community. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the exact placement of these namesake landmarks in a region where the natural water table heavily dictates settlement patterns and land use.
