2016 Map of Viking

About this map

The small settlement of Viking serves as the focal point of this northwestern Minnesota landscape, where the town center is defined by Main St and 2nd Ave. The surrounding agricultural grid is deeply influenced by the winding path of the S Br Snake River, which meanders through the northern sections of the township. Local history and genealogy are anchored at the Viking Cem, located north of the town center along Co Rd 38 NW. Further south, the Black River cuts across the terrain, reflecting the drainage patterns characteristic of the Red River Valley region. Traces of the historic Pembina Trl appear in the southern half of the map, marking a route used by early traders and settlers. The boundary between Marshall Co and Pennington Co divides the landscape, illustrating the administrative lines that shaped these farming communities.
