2016 Map of Bygland
USGS Topo · Published 2016About this map
The Red River of the North defines the boundary between Minnesota and North Dakota, carving a winding path through the fertile Red River Valley. This agricultural landscape in Polk County is centered on the settlement of Bygland, where the Red Lake River meanders toward its confluence. The map reveals an intricate network of drainage systems essential to regional farming, including County Ditch Number One Hundred Twentyfour and County Ditch Number One Hundred Thirtyone. Local history is anchored by the East Walle Evangelical Lutheran church and nearby burial grounds like Bygland Cem and Pioneer Cem. The rectilinear grid of rural roads, such as Co Hwy 59 and Co Hwy 15, provides the framework for this high-plains community during a period of modern agricultural stability.
