About this map

The village of Tintah and the town of Nashua anchor this survey of the Red River Valley borderlands in the early 1980s. This agricultural landscape is defined by an intricate network of water management, where the naturally meandering Rabbit River and South Fork Rabbit River are augmented by extensive drainage systems like Judicial Ditch No 7 and County Ditch No 20. The map documents a critical transportation junction where the Soo Line, Western, and Burlington Northern railroads converge to serve the region's grain-producing economy.

Local heritage is centered around long-standing landmarks such as St Galls Cem and Riverside Cem. The township boundaries of Bradford, Champion, Lawrence, and North Ottawa illustrate the orderly grid of the prairie, punctuated by farmsteads and a prominent Radio Tower. The survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure just before significant changes in late 20th-century rail operations and land use.
