1966 Map of Caribou NE

About this map

The Canada United States border forms the northern limit of this mid-1960s landscape, where the Roseau River State Wildlife Management Area dominates the marshy terrain of northern Minnesota. This managed wilderness is defined by extensive water control projects, including Pool No 2 and Pool No 3, which support the regional wetland habitat. The Roseau River meanders through the central portion of the sheet, flanked by the low-lying expanse of Blooming Valley. To the south, the area around Soler and the Juneberry Cem provides a focal point for local history and genealogy, marking the sparse human footprint in this aqueous environment. The presence of State Ditch No 69 reflects the long-standing efforts to manage drainage and agriculture along the Manitoba Minnesota line during this era.
