2013 Map of Twin Valley NW

About this map

Lockhart Swamp and the surrounding wetlands of Polk and Norman counties define this portion of the Red River Valley. The landscape is heavily shaped by agricultural water management, evidenced by the presence of State Ditch Number Sixtyeight and Spring Cr. This 2013 survey illustrates a quiet rural expanse where section-line roads like 270th St and 300th St grid the territory between larger natural features and managed lands. The Wildlife Area and Green Meadow Group Pond provide critical habitat in an area otherwise dominated by the geometric layout of county highways and local connectors. For researchers, the map provides a precise record of drainage patterns and public land use in this specific corner of northwest Minnesota.
