2018 Map of Climax NW

About this map

The Red River of the North winds through this borderland region, defining the winding boundary between North Dakota and Minnesota. This 2018 survey captures the intricate oxbows and floodplains of the river valley where Grand Forks, Polk, and Traill counties meet. The landscape is dominated by a precise grid of agricultural sections and rural roads like Co Hwy 25 and Co Hwy 4, reflecting the deep-rooted farming heritage of the Red River Valley. Local history is anchored by the Rosendahl Cem and North Ringsaker Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the early Scandinavian and pioneer communities that settled these fertile plains. Away from the main river channel, the Buffalo Coulee meanders across the southern sections, while the long stretch of Stavanger and Belmont No 52 highlights the administrative and township divisions that have organized this territory since the late nineteenth century.
