2010 Map of Pinecreek

About this map

The Canada - United States Boundary defines the northern edge of this remote northern Minnesota landscape, where the international line cuts directly through the Piney Pinecreek Border Airport. This unique aviation facility serves the small settlement of Pinecreek, situated at a geographic crossroads just south of the border. The terrain is characterized by a precise grid of rural roads and drainage projects like County Ditch Number Seventeen, reflecting a highly organized approach to managing the low-lying plains of Roseau County. To the south, the meandering Roseau River provides a natural contrast to the straight section lines, passing near the community of Ross. Local history is anchored by the Concordia Cemetery and Mellum Cemetery, which stand as enduring markers of the families who settled this borderland region.
