About this map

Orleans stands as the primary settlement in this northern Kittson County landscape, positioned along a network of county roads just south of the Canada - United States Boundary. The terrain is defined by a dense grid of township and county highways, reflecting a highly organized agricultural layout typical of the Red River Valley region. The Little Joe River meanders across the central portion of the map, providing a natural break in the geometric road system.

One of the most prominent infrastructure features is the Joe River Watershed Wildlife Impoundment Dam, located in the northwest quadrant. This dam and its associated watershed management area signify the importance of water control and conservation in this flat, prairie-border environment. The presence of numerous township roads, such as Twp Hwy T-109 and Twp Hwy T-214, provides a detailed record of land access for local property research and genealogical study.
