2016 Map of Twin Valley SW

About this map

The Wild Rice River and Marsh River meander through the prairie landscape of Norman County, defining the drainage patterns of this agricultural region. The map reveals an extensive system of water management, characterized by engineered features like State Ditch Number Sixty-eight and Judicial Ditch Number Fifty-one which support the surrounding farm tracts. For local historians and genealogists, the landscape preserves several significant burial sites, including Saint John's Cem and the Norman County Poor Farm Cem. The presence of the Norman County Ada/Twin Valley Airport near the southeastern corner of the survey area highlights the intersection of modern regional transport with traditional rural land use. The map also documents named wetlands such as Gilbertsons Slough and Little Gilbertsons Slough, indicating the complex hydrography of the Red River Valley.
