1953 Map of Fargo

Conservation and educational landmarks are prominent across the Red River Valley, from North Dakota State University in the north to the Tewaukon National Wildlife Refuge and Storm Lake National Wildlife Refuge in the southern reaches of the quadrangle. Beyond the cities, the map reveals localized sites such as St. Benedict Church and the Riverside Cemetery, alongside the expansive Sisseton Indian Reservation and White Earth Indian Reservation, reflecting the complex social and administrative layering of the plains during this era.
