About this map

Pembina sits at the northeastern corner of this Red River Valley landscape, where the Pembina River winds through a network of agricultural sections. The map reveals a drainage system heavily modified for farming, characterized by numerous artificial channels like County Ditch Number 42 and County Ditch Number 33. These ditches join natural waterways such as Icelandic Coulee and Louden Coulee, creating a hybrid landscape of natural oxbows and straight-line irrigation.

Local history is anchored by several named crossings and sites of communal importance. The Pembina Cem serves as a genealogical touchstone for the area, while the rural infrastructure is marked by specific structures like Hancock Bridge, Trudell Bridge, and the DeMars Bridge. Further south, the Tongue River and its Tongue River Cutoff illustrate the complex hydrography managed by residents in this borderland region near the intersection of several historic township boundaries.
