About this map

The International Peace Garden straddles the border between the United States and Canada, serving as the centerpiece of this Rolette County landscape. Located within the Turtle Mountains, the area is defined by a high density of small water bodies and wetlands, including Myer Lake, Berry Lake, and Anderson Lake. The small settlement of Kelvin sits along the primary north-south corridor of 30th Ave NE, while the International Peace Garden Airport provides an aerial link to this remote border region.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Little Prairie Cem just north of 106th St NE, a rare named landmark in a region dominated by a grid of rural section roads and Bureau of Indian Affairs routes like Bia RD 2. The drainage patterns of Indian Cr and Mineral Cr illustrate the complex hydrology of the high prairie, where numerous unnamed ponds dot the terrain between established lakes like Butler Lake and Rose Lake.
