About this map

The Red River dominates this international border landscape, winding north across the boundary between the United States and Canada. This survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey using data through 2018, documents a sparse, water-defined terrain where the river’s complex meanders create a series of points and bends along the 49th parallel. Small tributaries like Bradley Coulee and the Joe River feed into the main channel, illustrating the hydrologic patterns of the Red River Valley. The land is marked by the rectilinear grid of the Public Land Survey System, specifically t164n r51w, showing the enduring influence of early township and range divisions on the modern North Dakota and Minnesota borderlands.
