About this map

The Red River of the N (Water) meanders sharply through the heart of the Red River Valley, marking the state boundary between North Dakota and Minnesota. This 2020 survey captures the intensely agricultural landscape across the borders of Grand Forks and Traill Counties, North Dakota, and neighboring Polk County, Minnesota. The land is organized by a strict grid of section roads like 5th Ave NE and Co Hwy 4, designed to support large-scale farming operations in this famously flat terrain. Local history is anchored by rural landmarks such as Rosendahl Cem and North Ringsaker Cem, which stand alongside water management features like Buffalo Coulee and County Ditch Number One Hundred Three. The presence of Stavanger and Belmont No 52 reflects the township-level organization that has defined this rural prairie region for generations.
