1959 Map of Fargo North

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

The Red River of the North winds through the Red River Valley, carving the state line between Fargo, North Dakota, and Moorhead, Minnesota. This mid-century landscape shows a community in transition, with a dense concentration of educational and religious institutions including the Sacred Heart Academy, St Marys Sch, and Oak Grove High Sch clustered near the river core. To the west, Hector Field and the Radio Range Station mark the early development of modern aviation infrastructure, while the surrounding townships of Reed and Harwood maintain their traditional agricultural grids. Genealogists can locate several historic burial grounds such as Fridhem Cem and Riverside Cem. The rail lines of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific underscore the importance of transportation in the growth of these twin cities.
