2019 Map of Shelly

About this map

The Red River of the North defines the winding border between Minnesota and North Dakota, carving deep oxbows through this fertile valley. At the center of this landscape lies Shelly, a hub connected by the intersection of Co Rd 3 and state routes. The hydrology of the region is complex, featuring the meandering Marsh River and the mouth of the Goose River, alongside engineered waterways like Mickelson Drain No 27. For those researching family history in the Red River Valley, this map identifies several local burial grounds including Saint Petri Cem, Zion Cem, Augustana Cem, and the Marsh River Cem. The distribution of these cemeteries across the rural townships illustrates the dispersed settlement patterns common in Norman County's agricultural history.
