About this map

The northernmost edge of Kittson County meets the international border of Canada in this survey of agricultural drainage and topography. The landscape is defined by the managed flow of water across low-lying terrain, specifically via Casson Drain and Harlow Drain, which wind across the northern reaches of the Red River Valley. This specific map provides a detailed look at the engineered water systems that support the regional farm economy just south of the border, recording the precise hydrological patterns of the late 2010s in an area of minimal settlement and high-latitude prairie.
