About this map

Roseau River winds through the southwestern corner of this northern borderlands landscape, where the flat terrain of Roseau County meets the international boundary at the United States of America/Canada border. The hydrology of the region is defined by a complex network of managed and natural waterways, including the meandering Lost River and the engineered Judicial Ditch Number Sixtyone. These features illustrate the extensive drainage efforts required to utilize this low-lying wetland environment for agricultural or transit purposes. In the southern reaches, Hay Cr feeds into the larger drainage system, highlighting a rural landscape where section lines and local roads dictate the human footprint against a backdrop of vast open spaces near the edge of the Canadian prairie.
