2011 Map of Mekinock

About this map

Mekinock sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, where the meandering Turtle River cuts a winding path through the prairie. This 2011 survey illustrates a transition from the structured grid of the Red River Valley into a terrain dotted with significant local water bodies, most notably Stewart Lake and Lunby Lake. The area's agricultural character is underscored by the presence of County Ditch Number 12, an essential element of the region's historical water management system designed to make the flat, fertile land productive. A network of township roads, including 31st Ave NE and 20th St NE, connects the scattered farmsteads and rural properties, showing the enduring spatial organization of Grand Forks County well into the 21st century.
