2019 Map of South of Wahpeton

About this map

The Bois de Sioux River defines the winding border between North Dakota and Minnesota, anchoring this study of the Red River Valley’s southern reaches. Situated at the northern edge of the map, the city of Wahpeton transitions from an urban center into a vast agricultural landscape gridded by section roads. This survey documents the specific placement of local landmarks including the Harry Stern Airport and several historic burial sites, such as the Bohemian National Cem and Riverside Cem. Moving south, the terrain remains dominated by the serpentine river path and the smaller Rabbit River confluence. Small rail-side and rural clusters like Elmore and Tyler punctuate the plains, reflecting the area's long-standing reliance on the transportation corridors that follow the river valley between Richland Co and Wilkin Co.
