About this map

The Roseau River meanders across the international border between Manitoba and Minnesota in this pre-war survey of the northern frontier. Commissioner E. V. Willard and his team documented a landscape defined by significant water management efforts, including State Ditch No 72 and State Ditch No 91, which cross the marshy expanse of Juneberry Valley. These drainage projects were critical to the development of small settlements like Caribou and Oak Point.

A network of rural schools, such as Johnson Sch, Lasnewski Sch, and Red Top Sch, reflects the dispersed agricultural community of the era. The terrain is punctuated by subtle elevations like Juneberry Ridge and Moose Point, while the boundary between Kittson and Roseau Counties cuts through the western portion of the map. This study captures the transition of the Minnesota wilderness into an engineered landscape of homesteads and ditches.
