About this map

The Clearwater River meanders across the center of this landscape, marking a transition between the northern and southern reaches of the region. This survey captures a highly managed hydraulic environment where natural watercourses are supplemented by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure, including Judicial Ditch Number One and Judicial Ditch Number Fortyone. These man-made channels, such as County Ditch Number Sixtyfour and County Ditch Number Eighteen, reflect the long-standing effort to adapt the wetland-rich terrain for agricultural use.

Evidence of early 20th-century settlement patterns remains visible through the placement of rural burial grounds. The Finnish Cem and Ebenezer Cem serve as quiet landmarks of the community's ancestral roots, often located near arterial roads like Co Rd 1 and 120th St SE. The map also illustrates the administrative boundary where Pennington Co meets Red Lake Co, bisecting several of the primary drainage ditches.
