About this map

The Canada - United States Boundary defines the northern edge of this Roseau County landscape, where the flat terrain of the Red River Valley meets the international border. Water management is the primary character of this region, evidenced by the winding path of the Roseau River and the engineered precision of the State Ditch Number Sixtynine. These drainage systems are essential to the agricultural and conservation efforts in this low-lying area.

The Roseau River Wildlife Management Area Pool 2 Dam serves as a major landmark, regulating water for local ecology and waterfowl. Scattered across the landscape are distinctive glacial features such as Doughnut Pothole and Carlson Pothole, which provide a contrast to the straight lines of Dike Rd and the rural grid of 330th St. This survey documents a quiet borderland defined by its relationship to the river and the complex network of ditches and dams.
