2016 Map of Faith

About this map

Wild Rice River meanders across the landscape of Norman County, defining the drainage patterns of this agricultural region near the community of Faith. The terrain is marked by a complex system of water management, most notably the Judicial Ditch Number Fiftyfive which runs along the border shared with Mahnomen County. This network of natural waterways like Marsh Cr and Spring Cr alongside engineered ditches illustrates the long-standing efforts to master the prairie for cultivation. For those researching local history, the Saint Olaf Lutheran Cem stands as a significant landmark south of the Wild Rice River, situated near the intersection of Co Rd 29 and 460th St, providing a genealogical focal point for the surrounding rural townships.
