About this map

The Wild Rice River meanders across the Red River Valley, carving a winding path through the agricultural landscape northwest of Wahpeton. This 2020 survey documents the rural character of the North Dakota-Minnesota border, where the Red River of the North defines the state line between Richland County and Wilkin County. Small settlements like Dwight, Brushvale, and Farmington serve as local anchors for the surrounding farmsteads.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, including Faith Lutheran Cem near Dwight and Saint Josephs Cem overlooking the river bends. The map highlights the intersection of heavy rail infrastructure and the regional drainage system, specifically where Antelope Creek joins the larger river network. The grid of section roads and county highways, such as Co Rd 10, illustrates the enduring organization of this fertile prairie region.
