2016 Map of Ulen NW

About this map

The S Br Wild Rice River meanders across the flat agricultural landscape of the Red River Valley, carving a gentle course through the borderlands of Norman Co and Clay Co. This 2016 survey illustrates the precision of the Public Land Survey System, with a rigid grid of gravel roads and section lines defining the rural character of the region. The map reveals the meticulous division of townships, including t143n r45w and t142n r46w, where massive tracts of farmland are punctuated only by occasional farmstead windbreaks and drainage patterns. Near the southern county line, the Jevnaker Cem serves as a small but significant landmark for local genealogy, marking a historical point of community assembly in this sparsely settled prairie expanse. The road network, comprising routes like Co Rd 102 and 160th Ave, reflects the enduring infrastructure of Minnesota's wheat and sugar beet country.
