About this map

The Middle Br Two Rivers meanders through the heart of this Kittson County landscape, defining the hydrology of a region where water management is integral to the local geography. The presence of State Ditch Number Forty-eight in the southeast corner underscores the historical efforts to drain and stabilize the terrain for agricultural or municipal use. The road network is strictly gridded, following township and range lines such as Co Rd 4 and Co Rd 15, which serve as primary connectors between rural sections. This systematic arrangement of section lines and access points like Field Rd reveals a landscape meticulously partitioned for land use, where the natural course of the river contrasts with the straight lines of human infrastructure. It is a clear representation of the Red River Valley's peripheral wetlands and the engineering required to manage its drainage.
