About this map

The Red River of the North forms a serpentine boundary between Fargo, North Dakota and Moorhead, Minnesota, defining the regional landscape in this 2018 survey. The urban expansion of North Dakota's largest city is evident, encompassing West Fargo and reaching toward smaller developments like Reile's Acres and North River. A significant portion of the city's northern infrastructure is anchored by the Hector International Airport and the campus of North Dakota State Univ.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites concentrated near the river and airport, including the Beth El Cemetery Fargo Hebrew Congregation Cemetery, Springvale Cemetery, and several numbered Cass County plots. Across the water in Minnesota, the community of Oakport sits within a sharp oxbow of the river, while Kragnes marks the northern extent of the Clay County side. This map captures the modern connectivity of the Red River Valley, where grid-based agricultural townships like t140n r49w meet the dense residential blocks of the tri-city area.
