1964 Map of Plummer NW

About this map

The Red Lake River carves a deeply sinuous path through this mid-1960s landscape, marking the boundary where the agricultural plains are etched by an extensive network of drainage projects. This intricate system includes County Ditch No 76, Judicial Ditch No 15, and County Ditch No 12, which serve to manage the water levels of the low-lying prairie land. The confluence of the Black River and the main channel occurs amidst a terrain scattered with local infrastructure, from the rural Townhall locations to the Red Lake Falls Municipal Airport. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies significant sites such as St Josephs Cem and Oak Grove Cem in the southern reaches, alongside the isolated Gervais Lake. The landscape reflects a mix of natural riparian curves and the rigid geometry of man-made waterways and Gravel Pits.
