About this map

The agricultural plains of northwestern Minnesota are defined by a strict section-line grid in this Pennington County survey. Stretching across the northern edge, MN-1 serves as the primary east-west artery, while Co Hwy-12 and 150th Ave NW establish the north-south corridors. The landscape is sparsely populated, with development concentrated along these gravel and paved routes. Genealogists can identify significant local burial sites such as Lanstad Cem in the northwest and Rux Cem toward the center of the quadrangle. These markers, alongside the privately-held Willis Airport, represent the primary landmarks in an area dominated by large-scale field patterns. The map captures the quiet persistence of these rural townships, where place names are often tied to these small, established cemeteries and family-held aviation strips.
