About this map

Hydrological management dominates this Kittson County landscape, where engineered watercourses support the agricultural grid of the Red River Valley. The Middle Br Two Rivers meanders through the lower portion of the sheet, providing a natural contrast to the straight-line paths of State Ditch Number Seventy-two and State Ditch Number Fifty. These drainage systems were vital for transforming the low-lying terrain into productive farmland, a process reflected in the precise section lines of T162N and T161N.

Local transportation is defined by a sparse network of county roads and avenues, including Co Rd 60 and 400th Ave, which connect isolated farmsteads across the township. The presence of State Ditch Number Forty-eight further illustrates the scale of water management required in this northern Minnesota region, where the balance between wetland preservation and agricultural utility is etched into the very map of the county.
