1959 Map of Christine

About this map

The Wild Rice River meanders sharply through this Red River Valley landscape, defining the character of the borderlands between North Dakota and Minnesota. The rail-oriented settlement of Christine sits at the heart of the sheet, where the Chicago Milwaukee ST Paul And Pacific railroad runs north-to-south, connecting the community to smaller stops like Lithia and Enloe. This era of the late 1950s shows a high density of rural social centers, with South Pleasant Ch and Richland Ch anchoring their respective townships.
