1963 Map of Argusville

About this map

Argusville serves as the central hub of this eastern North Dakota survey, situated along the Great Northern railroad corridor. The landscape is defined by the rigid geometry of agricultural township boundaries, including Gardner, Wiser, and Berlin, which are interspersed with a network of section lines and field boundaries. In the southeastern corner, the meandering Sheyenne River breaks the prairie's grid, creating a natural wooded corridor that contrasts sharply with the surrounding farmland. This area includes the recreational space of Brooktree Park. Local history is anchored by essential community landmarks such as the High School within the Argusville Corporate Limits and the Argusville Cem located to the west of the main settlement. The map captures the transition of the region as Interstate 29 begins to parallel the older rail and highway routes, signaling a shift in the local transportation network.
