2013 Map of Borup

About this map

Borup sits at a crossroads of the Red River Valley, where the grid of the northern plains meets the meandering course of the Wild Rice River. This 2013 survey captures the agricultural landscape along the border of Norman Co and Clay Co, defined by long, straight roads like 160th Ave and Main Ave. The map reflects the community's established roots through legacy sites such as the Winchester Cem and the German Methodist Cem, markers of early settlement and the area's denominational history. Water management and natural drainage are evident in the winding South Branch Wild Rice River, which breaks the otherwise uniform township and range sections. The concentration of local services in the village is represented by the Po, serving as a central point for the surrounding farming region.
