About this map

Agricultural drainage and civil boundaries define this Red River Valley landscape in Pembina County during the early 1970s. The map illustrates a highly engineered terrain where County Ditch No 16, County Ditch Nos 20 and 66, and County Ditch No 27 cut across the flat prairie to manage seasonal water. These systems underscore the region's reliance on intensive land management for farming.

Settlement patterns are represented by the rural Townhall and a local Cem, while larger jurisdictional lines mark the townships of Carlisle, Joliette, Lincoln, Midland, and Drayton. In the northeastern corner, the Mc Donald National Wildlife Management Area provides a contrast to the surrounding section lines and field divisions, preserving a portion of the natural environment amidst the structured grid of northeastern North Dakota.
