About this map

The Knife River meanders across the northern plains of this Mercer and Oliver County borderland, defining a landscape heavily shaped by mid-century energy and transport infrastructure. Large-scale Strip Mine operations dominate the higher ground, particularly in the northeast, while a prominent Pipeline and several landing strips cut across the prairie. This industrial presence is contrasted by quiet markers of the area's rural heritage, such as the Emmaus Cem and Rose Hill Cem.
