2020 Map of Pelto

About this map

Pelto serves as a central point in this prairie landscape, situated in the heart of the Red River Valley’s western reaches during the early twenty-first century. The map illustrates a highly organized grid of rural infrastructure, where Co Rd 1 and Co Rd 2 connect isolated farmsteads across the township lines of t154n r59w and t155n r59w. Local heritage is anchored by significant burial sites, including the Finnish Lutheran Cem Finnish Cem and the West Forest Cem, which speak to the Northern European immigrant history of the region. The boundary between Walsh Co and Nelson Co is clearly demarcated, showing how political divisions align with the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. The terrain is characterized by numerous small prairie potholes and wetlands that dot the agricultural fields, influencing the placement of local roads like 54th St NE and 56th St NE.
