2013 Map of Pelan NE

About this map

S Br Two Rivers meanders through this portion of Roseau County, a landscape defined by an extensive network of water management projects. The map documents the engineering of the regional hydrology, where straight-cut channels like State Ditch Number Ninetyfive and several numbered laterals, including Lateral Ditch Number One and Lateral Ditch Number Two, cut across the section lines to manage the low-lying terrain. Human presence is concentrated primarily along the MN-11 corridor, which serves as the primary east-west artery through this rural expanse. For those researching local history, the Pauli Cem stands as a significant landmark along this highway, representing the early settlement roots in this quiet corner of northern Minnesota. The grid of section roads like 210th St and 170th Ave further illustrates the systematic agricultural partitioning of the land in the early twenty-first century.
