About this map

The Red River of the North forms the western boundary of this landscape along the Minnesota and North Dakota border, where the flat terrain of the Red River Valley is dominated by a complex network of man-made drainage systems. Numerous engineering projects such as Judicial Ditch No 10, Judicial Ditch No 19, and County Ditch No 7 underscore the area's transition into a highly managed agricultural environment during the mid-1970s.

Rural community life is anchored by local landmarks like Skjeberg Ch, Teien Ch, and the Eagle Point Ch. The presence of a Townhall and a small Landing Strip suggests a decentralized but organized township structure across Teien and Eagle Point. The map provides a clear view of the section lines and township boundaries that defined property and civil administration in Kittson and Marshall Counties at the time of the survey.
