2014 Map of Dwight

About this map

The Red River of the North defines the state boundary between North Dakota and Minnesota in this 2014 survey, winding along the eastern edge of Richland County. The landscape is characterized by the meandering paths of the Wild Rice River and Antelope Creek, which navigate a strictly gridded agricultural township. Local history centers on the rail-aligned community of Dwight and the northwestern outskirts of Wahpeton, where the river network once dictated the placement of early settlements like Brushvale and Farmington. Several rural burial grounds, including Saint Josephs Cem, Moore Cem, and Calvary Cem, are preserved within the sections. The map illustrates the contemporary intersection of modern township roads, such as CR-81, with the natural hydrology that has shaped the Red River Valley's development.
