1959 Map of Fargo South

About this map

The Red River of the North carves a winding path between Fargo, North Dakota, and Moorhead, Minnesota, defining the border between Cass Co and Clay Co. This mid-century survey documents the dense institutional landscape of the two cities, highlighting major educational landmarks like Concordia College and the State Teachers College. The urban core is flanked by numerous religious and social institutions, including the Sacred Heart Convent, St Johns Hospital, and the State Childrens Home. South of the primary settlements, the landscape transitions into the agricultural townships of Barnes, Stanley, and Kurtz. The influence of the rail industry is prominent, with the Burlington Northern and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific lines cutting across the plains to support the region's commerce and growth.
