About this map

Pembina sits at the northeastern edge of this Red River Valley landscape, just south of the international border. The territory is defined by the winding course of the Pembina River and the Tongue River, which flow through a heavily engineered agricultural plain. A complex network of drainage systems, including County Ditch Number 42 and County Ditch Number 11, reflects the intensive water management required for farming in this low-lying region. Local crossings such as Hancock Bridge and Trudell Bridge provide vital links across the meandering waterways and coulees. The presence of Pembina Cem north of the settlement serves as a quiet landmark for genealogists tracing the early families of North Dakota's oldest established community. The map also captures the Tongue River Cutoff and several named coulees, such as Icelandic Coulee and Louden Coulee, which disrupt the otherwise orderly grid of section roads.
