2016 Map of South of Wahpeton

About this map

The Bois de Sioux River forms a complex, winding border between North Dakota and Minnesota, defining the geography of Richland Co and Wilkin County. In this fertile Red River Valley landscape, the river’s tight meanders contrast with the rigid grid of rural roads like 182nd Ave SE and 400th St. To the north, the Harry Stern Airport and the Riverside Cem sit near the outskirts of the regional hub, while the Bohemian National Cem reflects the area's specific ethnic settlement patterns. Smaller localities such as Elmore and Tyler are situated along the section lines west of the river. The southern reach of the map shows the Rabbit River joining the main drainage, a critical junction in the local hydrology that historically influenced land use and farm placement in this prairie region.
