1961 Map of Casselton

About this map

The railroad hub of Casselton dominates this Red River Valley landscape, serving as a critical junction where the Great Northern and Northern Pacific lines intersect. This 1961 survey illustrates the town's industrial and civic infrastructure, from the prominent Water Tank and local Reservoir to the Sewage Disposal Ponds at the edge of town. The grid of the prairie is defined by the survey lines of the Amenia, Casselton, Harmony, and Durbin townships, while the Rush River and Swan Creek meander across the flat agricultural expanse. Local history is anchored by St Leo Cem and a second Cemetery just south of the main settlement, alongside the Dalrymple Spur, which points to the region's deep roots in large-scale wheat farming and rail transport.
