About this map

The city of Karlstad serves as the primary hub of this northwestern Minnesota landscape, positioned at the intersection of local routes and the rail line. The town's layout is centered around Main St and 1st St S, while the Karlstad Municipal Airport sits just to the northwest. This area of Kittson County is characterized by a managed water system, including the engineered Lateral Ditch Number Five and the natural winding course of the Tamarac River in the south.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the prairie, including Karlstad Cem, Pearson Cem, Deerwood Cem, and Lundeby Cem. The road network follows a strict township and range grid, yet historical routes like Pembina Tr Rd NW and local features such as Twistal Swamp offer glimpses into the original terrain and early transit patterns of the region before modern agricultural drainage and development.
