About this map

The international border between the Canada United States defines the northern edge of this Roseau County landscape, where the flat terrain of Enstrom meets a complex network of managed waterways. In the mid-1960s, the region’s drainage is dominated by straight-line engineering projects like Judicial Ditch No 61 and County Ditch No 18, which redirect flow through the low-lying wetland areas. These ditches intersect with the more erratic path of the Lost River, illustrating the intensive efforts to adapt the prairie for agriculture and resource management.

Local community life is centered near the eastern boundary, marked by the Norland Ch and the Salol Mission Cem. The southern reach of the quadrangle is anchored by the Burlington Northern railroad line, a vital transport link for the area's gravel industry, represented by several Gravel Pits. Large portions of the interior are dedicated to conservation within the R C 3 State Wildlife Management Area, preserving the natural character of the Minnesota brushland.
