2017 Map of Minto

About this map

Forest River winds through the heart of the Red River Valley, carving a narrow riparian corridor across the flat agricultural landscape of Walsh County. The settlement of Minto serves as a local hub, organized around a traditional grid that includes streets like Major Ave and Division Ave. The town’s history is reflected in its community landmarks, notably Minto Cem and the Sacred Heart Cem. To the east, the smaller settlement of Warsaw sits near the river's edge, while Saint Patrick Cem stands just north of the Minto town site. This 2017 survey reveals the persistent township-and-range section system, with a dense network of gravel roads such as 66th St NE and 153rd Ave NE facilitating access to the surrounding fields. The southern reaches of the map include a portion of Lake Ardoch, illustrating the subtle shifts in hydrology across this fertile prairie region.
