2020 Map of Drayton

About this map

Drayton and its tight, serpentine river bends anchor this 2020 map along the border of North Dakota and Minnesota. The Red River of the N carves an exceptionally winding path here, serving as the natural boundary between Pembina and Kittson counties. This hydrological pattern dominates the landscape, creating a series of deep oxbow-like peninsulas that challenge straight-line road development. While the town center of Drayton remains a focal point near Old Hwy 44, smaller named areas like Robbin and Herrick provide useful reference points for local history. Cultural markers such as the Drayton Cem and Saint Edward Cem sit just west of the river, while the Drayton Municipal Airport occupies the flatter terrain to the north, illustrating the mix of agricultural utility and aviation infrastructure in this Red River Valley corridor.
