1966 Map of Leo

About this map

Polonia, Soler, and Barto townships define this corner of Roseau County, where the landscape is a patchwork of wetland management and rural settlement. The northern half of the sheet is dominated by an extensive marshy expanse, channelled by the State Ditch No 72, reflecting early 20th-century efforts to drain and reclaim land for agricultural use. Toward the south, the terrain transitions into a more traditional grid of section lines and farmsteads centered around the small settlement of Leo.
