About this map

Twelvemile Creek and Fivemile Creek meander across this agricultural section of the Red River Valley, where the landscape is defined by the strict geometry of the Public Land Survey System. The map reveals the intersection of three counties—Traverse, Grant, and Stevens—marking a significant jurisdictional corner. Human intervention in the hydrology of the region is evident in the straight lines of County Ditch Number One and County Ditch Number Fiftyone, engineered to manage drainage across the flat prairie terrain. Near the western edge, Zion Cemetery sits along County Road 82, serving as a primary genealogical landmark for the surrounding rural township. The dense network of section-line roads, including County Highway 13 and 750th Avenue, illustrates the organized settlement pattern of this late 20th and early 21st-century Minnesota farmland.
