About this map

The Wild Rice River winds across this Red River Valley landscape, defining the character of the border between Norman and Clay Counties in the mid-1960s. The heavy concentration of drainage infrastructure, including Judicial Ditch No 56, County Ditch No 40, and County Ditch No 20, reveals the intensive engineering required to manage the flat prairie for agriculture. Local life is anchored by rural institutions like Landstad Ch and Bethania Ch, alongside St Marys Cem, which mark the centers of small townships such as Lee and Mary. The presence of a Townhall and a small Landing Strip highlights the community hubs and essential transportation infrastructure of this productive farming region.
