2013 Map of Salol NE

About this map

The international border between Canada and the United States defines the northern edge of this remote stretch of northern Minnesota. This landscape in Roseau County is characterized by extensive water management infrastructure designed to drain the low-lying terrain, specifically the long, straight reaches of Judicial Ditch Number Sixtyone and County Ditch Number Eighteen. These man-made channels intersect with the meandering path of the Lost River, illustrating the century-long effort to convert wetlands into viable agricultural or managed lands. Local history and genealogy interests center on the Salol Mission Cem located in the eastern portion of the quadrangle near Co Hwy-13. The transportation network is a grid of section-line roads, including 480th Ave and 350th St, which provide access to this sparsely settled borderland.
