About this map

Sprague Creek meanders through the northern reaches of this Roseau County landscape, crossing the international boundary between Manitoba Minnesota and the Canada United States border. The terrain is defined by its extensive drainage systems, including the long straight reaches of Judicial Ditch No 61, County Ditch No 18, and County Ditch No 7. These engineered waterways highlight the mid-century efforts to manage the low-lying wetland areas for agriculture or industry.

A notable landmark is the high ground of Popple Island, standing out against the surrounding marshy expanse near the Canadian line. Further south, the map indicates localized resource extraction at a Gravel Pit and identifies the area of Spruce. Water levels and flow were closely monitored during this era, as evidenced by the Gaging Station (BM 1052) located along the creek bank, providing essential data for this borderland watershed.
