2018 Map of Caledonia

About this map

The settlement of Caledonia sits along a highly sinuous stretch of the Goose River in eastern North Dakota, where the water takes tight, repetitive loops through the agricultural landscape. This survey of the region reveals a strict section-line road network typical of the Red River Valley, punctuated by modern infrastructure such as Mickelson Drain 13 in the northeast corner. While the primary grid is defined by routes like Co Hwy 4 and Co Hwy 13, the river's path remains largely unchannelized, creating complex natural boundaries between the townships of T146N R49W and T146N R50W. Within the village, the intersection of Main St and Co Hwy 2 serves as the central hub for local movement near the river's bend. The map illustrates how late 20th-century drainage projects and long-standing rural routes maintain the productivity of this fertile prairie region.
