About this map

Agricultural drainage and early family plots define the landscape of this section of Wilkin County. The map provides a detailed view of the regional hydrology through an extensive system of engineered waterways, including State Ditch Number Fifteen, County Ditch Number Six-a, and County Ditch Number One-a. These features, alongside County Ditch Number One-b, highlight the significant land management efforts required for farming in this part of the Red River Valley. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies specific burial sites such as the Mitchell Cem and Christ Lutheran Cem, which serve as physical links to the area's early settlement. A network of township roads and county highways, such as Co Hwy 11 and 210th Ave, connects these rural sites, revealing the grid-based development of the township's borders.
