2019 Map of Juneberry Ridge

About this map

Juneberry Ridge and Moose Point define this portion of northern Minnesota, where the landscape is shaped by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure near the Canadian border. The dominance of State Ditch Number Seventy-two and State Ditch Number Fifty illustrates the massive engineering efforts required to manage the wetlands and peatlands of the Red River Valley watershed. This modern 2019 survey captures the region's character as a frontier of agricultural land reclamation and managed wilderness. The terrain is sparsely populated, organized by a rigid grid of rural routes including Co Hwy 7 and Co Rd 24 which cross the boundary between Kittson County and Roseau County. This map is a record of the persistent geometry of the Public Land Survey System, showing how legal boundaries like t162n r45w dictate the movement of roads and the management of the water across the plains.
