2013 Map of Oslo

About this map

Oslo serves as a central hub on this 2013 survey of the borderlands between Minnesota and North Dakota. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Red River, which acts as the boundary between the two states and the counties of Walsh and Marshall. Within the small settlement of Oslo, local history is preserved at Riverside Cem and Saint Joseph Cem, while the town is connected to the wider region by MN-1 and ND-54. Beyond the residential center, the geography is heavily shaped by agricultural infrastructure and natural waterways. The N Marais River and Turtle River meander through the plains, supplemented by man-made drainage systems like County Ditch Number 13 and County Ditch Number 3. This mapping reveals how the grid of local roads, such as Cord-19 and 57th St NE, organizes the rural landscape surrounding the river's path.
