About this map

Red River of the North defines the landscape as it winds along the border of North Dakota and Minnesota, creating a complex series of meanders that shape the local communities. The township of Oxbow and the village of Hickson are situated near a prominent river bend, where modern infrastructure like Fargo Dam Number 3 manages the waterway's power. This region is characterized by its agricultural grid, yet it retains a deep-rooted history visible through numerous burial grounds such as Lower Wild Rice and Red River Cemetery and North Pleasant Cemetery.

The convergence of Wild Rice River and Wolverton Creek with the Red River showcases the drainage patterns of the valley floor. Settled areas like Saint Benedict and Wild Rice are connected by a network of rural routes, including County RD 81 and County Hwy-51. For those exploring the recreational and social geography of the area, landmarks like Tony's Campground provide specific points of interest amidst the expansive farmland.
