1964 Map of Dwight

About this map

The Wild Rice River meanders across this Red River Valley landscape, defining the rural character of Richland County during the mid-1960s. The map illustrates a region heavily influenced by its transit corridors, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and Great Northern railroads intersect near the village of Dwight. This period shows a well-established network of section-line roads connecting dispersed agricultural homesteads and local landmarks like the Townhall and the Drive-in Theater.
