1959 Map of Fargo North

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Red River of the North winds sharply between North Dakota and Minnesota, separating the growing urban centers of Fargo and Moorhead. This late-1950s landscape shows the intensive development of the North Dakota Agriculture College and the expanding Hector Field airport facilities. While the city grid pushes northward with numerous institutions like Sacred Heart Academy and Holy Spirit Sch, the surrounding townships of Reed and Kragnes remain largely agricultural. Significant infrastructure includes the Great Northern and Northern Pacific rail lines, which intersect near the heart of the city. Notable local landmarks like the State Fairground and St Lukes Hospital anchor the community, while the river banks are dotted with legacy sites such as the County Farm and Fridhem Cem.
