About this map

Buffalo Coulee meanders through this agricultural landscape along the border of North Dakota and Minnesota. The map illustrates a strictly organized grid of rural roads and county boundaries, where the intersection of Co Hwy 4 and 14th St NE marks a key junction near the northern edge. This area, divided among townships T148N and T147N, contains small markers of early community life. Genealogical interest is centered on two distinct burial grounds: Hillstead Cem in the north and Salem Cem to the southeast near Co Hwy 2. These sites, along with the intermittent wetlands and drainage patterns of the Red River Valley, reveal the quiet, persistent settlement of Polk County and Traill County in the late twenty-first century.
