About this map

The Wild Rice River meanders across the fertile plains of the Red River Valley, defining the rural character of this border region. Near the western edge, the settlement of Dwight sits at the confluence where Antelope Creek joins the larger river system, while the northern corner features the community of Brushvale situated along the Red River of the North. This boundary area is marked by the interface between North Dakota and Minnesota, specifically where Richland County meets Wilkin County.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved in the landscape, including Saint Josephs Cem and Moore Cem. The land is divided by a rigorous grid of section lines and gravel roads such as 77th St SE and Co Rd 10, reflecting the enduring agricultural layout of the Dakotas. To the southeast, the urban expansion of Wahpeton begins to emerge, showing the transition from open prairie to more concentrated residential and commercial developments.
