1959 Map of Fargo North

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Red River of the North winds through this 1950s landscape, serving as the fluid border between Fargo, North Dakota, and Moorhead, Minnesota. The map documents a period of significant educational and institutional concentration, anchored by the North Dakota Agriculture College and numerous parochial institutions like Sacred Heart Academy and St Marys Sch. A clear urban-rural divide is evident as the dense street grids of Fargo give way to the township blocks of Harwood and Reed. Transport infrastructure is dominated by the Burlington Northern railroad, which parallels the river valley. To the north, smaller settlements and rural landmarks like Kragnes and the Oak Mound Sch illustrate the transition into Cass County's agricultural heartland, while the presence of a Radio Range Station and Drive-in Theater reflects the mid-century expansion of the city's periphery.
