About this map

The Clearwater River winds through the Red Lake County landscape, serving as the primary geographical anchor for the village of Plummer. During the mid-1960s, this area was defined by its highly organized drainage system, visible in the numerous numbered channels like County Ditch No 15 and County Ditch No 62, which reclaimed the flat terrain for agriculture. The Soo Line railroad bisects the territory, running parallel to the river and connecting the local economy to broader regional markets.

Local heritage is well-preserved through several family and parish landmarks, including St Vincent De Paul Cem and Clara Ch Cem. The presence of the Old Indian Treaty Bdy in the northeast corner provides a crucial reference point for understanding historic land tenure. This survey also records the industrial footprint of the era, from various Gravel Pits to the Gaging Station and Sewage Disposal Ponds that supported the growing community infrastructure.
