1966 Map of Oslo NE

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Red River corridor defines this landscape at the border of Minnesota and North Dakota, where the winding Snake River joins the main valley near Alvarado. The 1966 survey illustrates a strictly organized agricultural grid across the townships of Oak Park, Vega, Higdem, and Sandsville. This region is characterized by a sophisticated drainage network of man-made waterways, including Judicial Ditch No 1 and County Ditch No 21, essential for managing the flat river bottom lands. Transportation is centered on the Soo Line railroad, which parallels the highway through Oslo. Local heritage is anchored by scattered rural institutions like the Mesopotamia Cem and Elim Ch, which alongside the Swedish Cem, indicate the specific settlement patterns of the families who farmed these Marshall and Polk County lands.
