1963 Map of Argusville

About this map

The Sheyenne River winds through the southeastern corner of this North Dakota landscape, providing a sharp contrast to the rigid section lines that define the surrounding prairie. During this early 1960s survey, the local infrastructure was in a state of transition, most notably marked by the Great Northern Under Construction rail line cutting diagonally across the township toward Argusville. This settlement serves as the central hub of the map, situated within the Argusville Corporate Limits and featuring local landmarks such as the High Sch and the Argusville Cem to the west. The map captures a moment when the rural grid of Gardner, Wiser, Berlin, and Harwood townships remained largely agricultural, punctuated by small developments like Brooktree Park near the riverbanks.
