About this map

The Red River creates a meandering border between North Dakota and Minnesota in this 1970s survey, defining the agricultural landscape of Pembina and Kittson counties. The Burlington Northern railroad runs parallel to the state line, serving small rail-side settlements like Mc Arthur, Joliette, and Fleece. This corridor is characterized by a precise network of drainage works, including County Ditch No 26 and County Ditch No 64, which manage the low-lying prairie terrain.

A National Waterfowl Production Area occupies the western portion of the quadrangle, preserving wetlands amid the surrounding farmland. The confluence of Two Rivers with the main channel highlights the importance of water management in the Red River Valley. Along the highway, modern transport infrastructure is represented by the Mc Arthur Interchange and Carlisle Interchange, while a local Townhall stands as a focal point for the rural community.
