1964 Map of Dilworth

About this map

Buffalo River meanders across this Clay County landscape, its winding course defining the eastern and northern reaches of the quadrangle. In the south, the settlement of Dilworth shows a compact grid adjacent to the prominent rail lines of the Northern Pacific, which drove the area's development as a vital transportation hub near the Red River Valley. The map also captures the small community of Kragnes in the northwest corner, situated along the Great Northern railway. This 1964 survey documents a period of stable agricultural and rail-dependent growth, where the complex drainage patterns of the river system contrast with the rigid sectional road grid that characterizes the surrounding prairie.
