1966 Map of Caribou NE

About this map

The Roseau River State Wildlife Management Area dominates this landscape along the international boundary between the United States and Canada. This 1966 survey documents a critical water management and conservation region, where the Roseau River meanders through expansive wetlands like Blooming Valley. The infrastructure of the era is clearly visible, including Pool No 2 and Pool No 3, regulated by a floodgate and an intricate network of drainage such as Ditch No 69. Near the southern edge of the wildlife boundary, the Juneberry Cem and the location of Soler represent the small pockets of human settlement and local history situated amidst the marshes and prairie of Roseau County.
