About this map

The Red River of the North winds in complex oxbows along the border of Walsh County, defining the eastern edge of this agricultural landscape. This portion of the Red River Valley shows a highly organized section-line road network, where long-established burial grounds like Zion Cemetery and Saint Joseph's Cemetery serve as landmarks for the surrounding rural community. The Park River meanders across the center of the sheet before joining the larger river system, while smaller waterways such as Dipple Drain and the cutoff Horseshoe Lake illustrate the area's natural drainage and hydrological history. The proximity of Interstate 29 running parallel to the older county routes like County Rd 2 highlights the evolution of transit in this fertile borderland region during the early 21st century.
