2017 Map of Abercrombie

About this map

The Red River of the North winds in sharp, serpentine meanders along the border of North Dakota and Minnesota, defining the boundary between Wilkin and Richland counties. This landscape is shaped by the fertile plains of the Red River Valley, where the river's path is so complex that it creates numerous oxbows and narrow peninsulas. On the western bank in North Dakota, the town of Abercrombie sits near the confluence where Nyquist Coulee meets the main channel. Across the river in Minnesota, the small settlements of McCauleyville and Kent are situated along the river's edge. Local history and genealogy researchers can locate the Saint Thomas Cem and McCauleyville Cem near the riverbanks. The drainage of this agricultural region is further detailed by the Wild Rice River, Whisky Cr, and man-made channels like Country Ditch Number One-A.
