2014 Map of Joliette

About this map

The Red River of the North winds through this section of the fertile Red River Valley of the North, forming the state boundary between North Dakota and Minnesota. This 2014 survey captures a landscape of extreme agricultural precision, dominated by a grid of section roads like 96th St NE and 300th St that define the flat terrain. The small community of Joliette serves as a central point along the north-south transport corridor, flanked by the smaller settlements of McArthur to the north and Fleece to the south. The serpentine path of the river, including the confluence with Two Rivers, contrasts sharply with the straight-line development of the surrounding farmland. This map is particularly valuable for documenting the modern footprint of these Pembina County communities and the enduring importance of the river as both a geographical boundary and a central hydrological feature of the region.
