About this map

Kellys Slough National Wildlife Refuge dominates the northeastern landscape of this mid-century survey, showcasing the intricate wetland network and the Kellys Slough itself. Adjacent to this protected area, the Grand Forks Air Force Base represents a significant military presence in the Red River Valley, with its extensive infrastructure including specialized facilities like the Twining Sch and Eielson Sch.

Settlement patterns follow the corridor of the Great Northern railroad, where the town of Emerado serves as a hub near the Emerado Cem. The agricultural character of the surrounding townships like Blooming and Oakville is evidenced by a network of local institutions, including Ascension Ch, Calvary Ch, and School No 3. Notable water features such as the Salt Water and a local Coulee reflect the drainage patterns of this prairie terrain.
