2016 Map of Kennedy

About this map

Kennedy serves as the primary focal point of this Kittson County landscape, which is defined by the rigid geometry of the Public Land Survey System. The town's grid is oriented along the railway corridor, with streets like Atlantic Ave, Pacific Ave, and Kittson Ave paralleling the tracks. This layout reflects the classic agricultural settlement pattern of the northern Red River Valley, where towns developed as collection points for the surrounding grain-producing sections. Outside the town limits, the terrain is partitioned into townships like t160n r48w and t159n r48w. Local history and genealogy are anchored by the presence of Kennedy Cem and the uniquely named Tree Claim Cem to the south. The road network, including Co Rd 7 and Co Rd 13, follows section lines to connect the outlying farmsteads with the central hub of Kennedy.
