What a Kittson County township map shows
The named townships on a county map are civil townships, and a parcel near Hallock belongs to exactly one of them.

In the county version, the search page takes an owner, an address or a parcel ID, and each report links back to the map view for the parcel near Kennedy. Our Kittson County, MN page keeps the official link and the maps next door to Donaldson in one place.

Reading sections near Karlstad
On a grid map of Kittson County, sections are numbered from 1 in the northeast corner, and the numbering ends at 36 in the southeast corner. Calls like 'NE 1/4 of the SW 1/4' near Karlstad are read from the end: locate the southwest quarter, then its northeast quarter, on the county grid. Water, old surveys and corrections can leave odd-sized lots along section edges in Kittson County.
Deeds, districts and roads
If a county deed near Northcote cites a township that no longer appears on the map, the county recorder can usually explain the change. Road maintenance questions near Northcote depend on whether a road is a state, county or local road, so ask the county highway office if you're unsure.
