2011 Map of Grand Forks SW

About this map

English Coulee meanders through this agricultural landscape in Grand Forks County, defining a drainage pattern that has shaped the local land use. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the rural infrastructure southwest of the city, where a systematic grid of roads like 18th St NE and 11th Ave divides the prairie into distinct parcels. The presence of Knutson Airport serves as a small aviation landmark amidst the fields, while Wilson Creek and Elm Coulee provide further geographic definition to the terrain. The map reflects a modern period of rural stability, where the intersection of traditional section lines and natural waterways continues to dictate the placement of farmsteads and transport routes in the Red River Valley region.
