2020 Map of Big Woods NW

About this map

Red River of the North snakes along the boundary between North Dakota and Minnesota, defining a landscape of deep meanders and fertile bottomlands in this 2020 survey. This section of Walsh County is characterized by its meticulous drainage network and grid-based rural road system, where the Park River and Dipple Drain cut through the plains to join the larger river system. Local heritage is centered around long-standing community landmarks such as Zion Cem and Saint Joseph's Cem, reflecting the area's deep-rooted agricultural and spiritual history. The map captures the interface between Walsh Co and Marshall Co, illustrating how the waterway serves as both a geographic barrier and a connective thread for the border communities.
