Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as human settlement in Marshall County, Minnesota, United States of America. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 26, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q2227661. VIAF identifies the subject as 135148776. The Library of Congress control number is no90009149. Authority coordinates are 48.490, -96.447.

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
