2013 Map of Wahpeton NE

About this map

Christ Lutheran Cem and Mitchell Cem stand as quiet markers of the community's heritage in this rural section of Wilkin County, Minnesota. The landscape is defined by an extensive engineered drainage system, including State Ditch Number Fifteen and several branches of County Ditch Number Six-a, which have transformed this portion of the Red River Valley into highly productive agricultural land. A precise grid of township roads, such as T-180 and T-33, sections the territory, facilitating the transport of local crops. In the southeast, MN-9 cuts diagonally across the township lines, providing a primary regional artery. This 2013 survey illustrates the enduring intersection of family genealogy at local cemeteries with the large-scale water management essential to modern prairie farming.
