About this map

The Red River of the North defines the landscape of this Red River Valley quadrangle, winding in sharp oxbows along the border between North Dakota and Minnesota. The settlement of Joliette is the primary focal point on the western bank, situated at the intersection of local routes and the Joliette Interchange. Further south, the map identifies the small community of Fleece near the Carlisle Interchange.

Modern transportation infrastructure is superimposed over the traditional agricultural grid, with routes like Old Hwy 81 and Old Hwy 44 running parallel to the river's course. To the east, the Two Rivers tributary joins the main waterway, carving through the flat terrain. This survey provides a clear look at the late-twentieth-century rural layout, from the network of township roads like Twp Hwy T-180 to the localized drainage patterns and floodplain characteristics surrounding these border communities.
