The serpentine Red River of the North defines the boundary between Minnesota and North Dakota, carving a complex, winding path through this agricultural landscape. On the Minnesota side, the small community of Perley serves as a local hub, situated just west of where the Wild Rice River meanders into the region. The map reveals a strictly organized section-line grid of rural roads, including Co Rd 106 and 100th Ave, which connect the scattered farmsteads of Norman and Clay counties. This 2016 survey highlights several historical points of interest for genealogists, notably the Old Bethlehem Lutheran Cem and Kirkebo Cem, which anchor the local community history within the vast, flat plains of the Red River Valley.
