2010 Map of Humboldt

About this map

The Canada - United States Boundary defines the northern edge of this Red River Valley landscape, where the international border meets the far northwest corner of Minnesota. The small community of Humboldt serves as the primary focal point, anchored by the Humboldt Post Office and a network of agricultural section roads. The meandering path of the Joe River cuts across the flat terrain, providing a natural break in the geometric grid of township and county highways. This 2010 survey illustrates the sparse, late-twentieth-century settlement pattern characteristic of Kittson County, where large-scale farming and transportation corridors like County Hwy-16 dominate the geography. The map captures the quiet isolation of a border town whose layout remains defined by its proximity to the Canadian frontier.
