2019 Map of Climax

About this map

The Red River of the North carves a serpentine boundary between North Dakota and Minnesota on this detailed 2019 survey. The landscape is defined by the stark geometry of Section-Line roads and the winding path of the Sand Hill River, which flows westward to join the Red River. Centered on the small agricultural communities of Climax and Nielsville, the map captures a rural environment where land use is dominated by large-scale drainage projects like County Ditch Number One Hundred Sixtysix. For those researching local family histories, the map identifies several rural burial grounds, including Bergit Cem, Skatvold Cem, and Sundet Cem, which remain as long-standing landmarks in the flat valley terrain. Transportation is anchored by the crossing of Co Hwy 1 and the small-craft facilities at Nielsville Airport.
