2013 Map of Georgetown

About this map

Georgetown anchors this 2013 survey of the fertile Red River Valley, situated at the confluence where the Buffalo River joins the highly meandered Red River of the North. The map illustrates the sharp jurisdictional divide between Clay and Cass counties, serving as the state line between Minnesota and North Dakota. This boundary is defined by the winding river channel, which creates intricate peninsulas of land as it snakes through the prairie. The settlement of Georgetown remains a small but distinct cluster of activity, centered around a local Po and a grid of streets including Mason St and Bridge St. Beyond the riverbanks, the landscape is dominated by an expansive network of rural roads and drainage infrastructure, such as County Ditch Number Twentythree B, reflecting the region's deep ties to industrial-scale agriculture. The primary transportation artery, Us-75, cuts a linear path through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, contrasting with the fluid, organic curves of the natural waterways.
