About this map

The tiny settlement of Dorothy and the nearby St Dorothys Ch anchor this rural landscape at the crossroads of several Minnesota counties. Located at the intersection of Polk, Pennington, and Red Lake counties, the map highlights a terrain defined by extensive drainage efforts and conservation areas. The northern expanse is dominated by the Goose Lake Swamp, partially preserved within the Pembina State Wildlife Management Area. Numerous man-made channels like County Ditch No 147 and Lateral No 4 Ditch cut through the townships of Wylie, Louisville, and Polk Centre, illustrating the intensive modification of the Red River Valley for agriculture. The serpentine course of the Red Lake River winds through the southern reaches, flanked by the Moran State Wildlife Management Area, while an Old Railroad Grade provides a trace of former transportation networks through the center of the sheet.
