1966 Map of Pinecreek

About this map

The international border between Manitoba and Minnesota bisects the northern edge of this Roseau County survey, anchored by the Port of Entry U S Customs and the Pinecreek Airport. The settlement of Pinecreek sits just south of the Canadian line, serving as a focal point for the local agricultural community. To the south, the Roseau River meanders across the landscape, flanked by extensive drainage projects such as County Ditch No 17 and County Ditch No 16, which transformed the wet prairie for farming. Rural life in the mid-1960s is evidenced by local landmarks like Pinecreek Ch, Concordia Ch, and the Mellum Cem. The eastern portion of the map reveals a large Lakebed and the distinct rise of a Hill, providing a break from the flat township of Dieter and the southern reaches of Ross.
