1939 Map of Kennedy

About this map

Great Northern rail lines anchor the agricultural landscape of Kittson and Marshall counties as it appeared in the late 1930s. The region is defined by a dense network of judicial ditches and township boundaries like Skane and Svea, reflecting the organized land reclamation and Scandinavian heritage of the Red River Valley. The South Branch Two Rivers meanders through the northern section near Wilson Sch, providing one of the few breaks in the systematic grid of section roads and drainage canals.
