2016 Map of Mattson

About this map

The Red River of the North winds in sharp oxbows through this borderlands region, defining the state line between North Dakota and Minnesota. This 2016 survey shows the landscape of Kittson County and Pembina County dominated by a precise agricultural grid that spans the Red River Valley. The small settlement of Mattson sits along Co Rd 67, serving as a central point in an area where local history is anchored by the Red River Cemetery and Tabitha Lutheran Cemetery. The map captures the interaction between the meandering natural waterway and the rigid township and range system, including t160n r50w and surrounding sections, illustrating how transportation and land division have adapted to the river's frequent shifts.
