About this map

The meandering Red River of the North defines the border between North Dakota and Minnesota in this Red River Valley landscape. The settlement of Oslo sits prominently at a bend in the river, protected by a system of levees including Dike Ave, which reflects the community's relationship with the fertile but flood-prone plains. To the west, the smaller community of Poland anchors the agricultural grid, surrounded by an extensive network of drainage systems like County Ditch Number 13 and County Ditch Number 3.

Genealogists can find historical burial sites such as Riverside Cem and Saint Joseph Cem near the riverbanks. The natural hydrology is further marked by the Turtle River and N Marais River, which wind through the township boundaries of Marshall and Grand Forks counties. The map illustrates a highly organized rural infrastructure, from the interstate corridor to local farm-to-market roads like Co Hwy 19.
