2010 Map of Strandquist

About this map

Strandquist serves as the focal point of this northern Minnesota landscape, where the town site is situated at the intersection of a sprawling rural grid and the railroad corridor. The area's cultural history is deeply reflected in its distributed burial grounds, which point to the diverse heritage of early settlers. Notable sites include the Mission Covenant Cemetery, Bethesda Cemetery, and English Cemetery, alongside the Augustana Lutheran Cemetery and Norwegian Cemetery. These labels suggest a settlement pattern where immigrant congregations established local centers across the prairie. The southern portion of the map is defined by the winding course of the Middle River, which cuts across the rigid section lines of the township. This 2010 survey provides a clear view of the regional road network, from major arteries like County Hwy 115 and County Hwy 29 to the numbered gravel roads that facilitate the agricultural life of the Red River Valley region.
