2013 Map of Caribou

About this map

Caribou sits directly along the international boundary between Canada and the United States in this northern Minnesota survey. The landscape is defined by the winding path of the Roseau River and an extensive network of engineered waterways, including State Ditch Number Fiftyone and Judicial Ditch Number Thirtythree, which reflect long-standing efforts to manage the low-lying terrain of the Red River Valley region. For genealogists, the map identifies local burial sites such as Saint John's Cem and the Saint Michaels Greek Orthodox Cem, providing physical markers for the area's diverse early settlement history. This frontier topography is largely divided by a grid of rural roads, including County Road 53 and numerous township highways like Twp Hwy T-295, which connect isolated farmsteads across the Kittson and Roseau county line.
