About this map

The Clearwater River carves a winding, serpentine path through the northern landscape of this Minnesota township, defining the boundary between Gervais and Red Lake Falls. Settlement is centered on the small community of Terrebonne, where Terrebonne Creek meets the river. The agricultural character of the mid-1960s is evident in the dense network of drainage ditches and the inclusion of visible fence and field lines recorded during the 1964 topographic surveys.

Local history is anchored by rural institutions like the Beau Gerlot Sch and sacred sites including Oak Grove Cem and a smaller Cem in Pleasant Lake. The drainage of the area is further defined by Beau Gerlot Creek and Badger Creek, which cross the township lines. This map documents a quiet, river-driven economy in Red Lake County, capturing the transition from traditional prairie landscape to organized agricultural grid.
