2013 Map of Skull Lake NE

About this map

Hewett Family Cem and N Prairie Cem stand as quiet markers of rural heritage in this northern corner of Kittson County, just south of the Canadian border. The landscape is defined by an extensive water management network, where engineered waterways like State Ditch Number Eightyfour and State Ditch Number Seventytwo crisscross the flat terrain. These drainage projects, along with State Ditch Number Eightyfive, reflect the century-long effort to transform these low-lying wetlands into productive agricultural territory. Natural drainage persists through the N Br Two Rivers, which meanders through a grid of township roads. The map reveals the precise layout of local infrastructure, from Twp Hwy T-316 to Twp Hwy T-5, which continue to facilitate access to the remote farmsteads and cemeteries of this frontier region.
