About this map

The Canada United States border defines the northern limit of this 1966 survey, where the Roseau River State Wildlife Management Area dominates a vast wetland landscape. The hydrologic character of the region is meticulously documented through artificial water management and natural features, including Pool No 2 and Pool No 3. These managed pools contrast with smaller natural features like Doughnut Pothole and Carlson Pothole, which dot the terrain south of the international line.

Infrastructure in this corner of Roseau Co is centered on water control, evidenced by the Gaging Station on the Roseau River and numerous floodgates. Systematic drainage is visible through the grid of the State Ditch No 69 and County Ditch No 17, which cut through the townships of Soler and Moose. This mapping provides a detailed look at the interface between the Manitoba Minnesota border and the reclaimed agricultural and wildlife lands of the northern prairie.
