About this map

The meandering Red River of the North defines the western edge of this 2011 survey, its complex loops and oxbows creating a sharp natural boundary for the agricultural lands of Perley. This village serves as the primary hub for the surrounding region, anchored by the Perley Post Office. The landscape is etched with the precise grid of rural section roads such as County Hwy-106 and 120th Ave, reflecting the systematic development of this fertile valley. Farther east, the Wild Rice River winds across the plains, its path significantly more erratic than the surrounding surveyed lines.

Genealogists and local historians can locate community landmarks such as the Old Bethlehem Lutheran Cemetery and Kirkebo Cemetery, which mark the settlement history of the area. Aviation footprints are visible through the Swenson Airstrip and Thompson Airport, indicating the importance of private flight in this expansive rural territory. The map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure that supports the local economy, from the drainage patterns of the river basins to the state and county highway networks.
