About this map

The Clearwater River meanders across this rural landscape, defining the boundary between the northern and southern townships. This region is characterized by a sophisticated network of water management, evidenced by numerous man-made channels such as Judicial Ditch Number One and County Ditch Number Sixtyfour. The prevalence of these ditches underscores the agricultural importance of the area, where land drainage has been essential for cultivation.

Cultural and genealogical history is anchored by the presence of Finnish Cem and Ebenezer Cem, reflecting the heritage of the early families who settled this part of Red Lake and Pennington counties. The map traces the transition between Pennington Co and Red Lake Co, following a grid of section roads including Co Hwy 26 and Co Rd 1. This cartographic study provides an essential view of the drainage-and-transportation framework that sustains this Minnesota farming community.
