About this map

The Red River of the North winds along the border between Kittson County, Minnesota, and Pembina County, North Dakota, in this rural landscape. The settlement of Mattson sits at the junction of several section lines, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural tracts. The terrain is defined by the sharp, oxbow meanders of the river, which are traced by the Red River of the North Trl.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the preservation of rural landmarks, including the Tabitha Lutheran Cem to the north and the Red River Cem near the river's edge. A strictly rectilinear grid of roads, such as Co Rd 16 and 170th Ave, organizes the prairie landscape, illustrating the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the development of these border counties.
