2013 Map of Shelly

About this map

The Red River Valley landscape is defined by the winding border between Minnesota and North Dakota, where the town of Shelly serves as a small hub for the surrounding agricultural community. The terrain is notably flat, carved primarily by the meandering paths of the Goose River and the Marsh River, which snake through the fertile plains. This 2013 survey illustrates a high density of rural burial sites relative to the sparse population, including Saint Petri Cem, Shelly Cem, Zion Cem, Marsh River Cem, and Augustana Cem. These sites, often positioned near local watercourses or major transit lines like Us-75, serve as quiet anchors for family history in Norman County. The map also detail local infrastructure such as the post office and the Burlington St corridor, reflecting the continued importance of rail and road connections in this borderland region.
