1959 Map of Fargo South

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Red River of the North winds in sharp oxbows through this mid-century portrait of Fargo, North Dakota, and Moorhead, Minnesota. Based on 1950s surveys with urban revisions into the 1970s, the map reveals a landscape defined by institutional growth and river-based recreation. Educational and social landmarks are prominent, including the State Teachers College, Sacred Heart Convent, and the State Childrens Home. Large-scale public spaces such as Lindenwood Park and the Country Club line the river's banks, while the Burlington Northern and Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads signal the region's role as a vital transportation hub. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds documented, from Riverside Cemetery and Evergreen Cem in the north to Holy Cross Cem and Salem Ch further south along the river valley.
