About this map

The North Branch Turtle River carves a winding path through this portion of the Red River Valley, defining the rural landscape along the border of Nelson and Grand Forks counties. The town of Petersburg sits in the southwestern corner, anchored by the Petersburg City Cem and a grid of local routes like 3rd Ave. To the east, the settlement of Niagara marks the edge of the survey area, connected by the historical alignment of 41st St NE. This modern mapping reflects a classic Midwestern section-line layout, where gravel roads such as 125th Ave NE and 47th St NE organize a landscape primarily used for agriculture and dotted with small water bodies. Notable landmarks include Skunk Coulee in the northwest and Saint Andrews Cem, which serves as a quiet local landmark for families in the region.
