2011 Map of Georgetown

About this map

The confluence of the Buffalo River and the meandering Red River of the North defines this landscape on the border of Minnesota and North Dakota. The settlement of Georgetown serves as the focal point of the quadrangle, where the Georgetown Post Office stands near the intersection of several local routes. The map illustrates a highly organized agricultural grid, with long straight roads such as 150th Avenue North and County Hwy 100 cutting across the fertile Red River Valley. The intricate loops and oxbows of the river systems contrast sharply with the rigid section lines of the surrounding farmland, reflecting a modern rural economy built upon the foundations of one of the region's earliest trading outposts.
