1956 Map of Fargo
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
Fargo and Moorhead anchor this 1950s study of the Red River Valley, where a sprawling network of rails and highways defines the region's agricultural economy. The landscape is dominated by the complex hydrology of the Sheyenne River, Wild Rice River, and Maple River, which cut through the flat plains toward the Sand Hills and the lake-heavy terrain of western Minnesota. Major rail corridors including the Northern Pacific, Great Northern, and the Soo Line serve as the lifeblood for numerous small elevator towns like Casselton and Wheatland.
