In that last picture I cleaned up through a dry creek, In these area's there use to be a lot of little creeks that ran to the Red River but over the years various Conservation Districts, municipalities, and the Provincial government straightened them, redirected them and turned others in to more of a ditch than an actual water body. Some of it was to alleviate flooding during the spring and heavy rainfalls as this area was a lake after the glaciers receded and is now a natural flood plain. But a lot of this was done to accommodate very intensive farming.
