1963 Map of Fordville

About this map

Fordville sits at a strategic junction in northeastern North Dakota, where the Soo Line railroad crosses the landscape just north of the Forest River. This 1963 survey, photorevised in the late 1970s, captures the town's infrastructure, including the Fordville Airport and the nearby Oak Grove Cem. The geography is defined by the convergence of several waterways, including the North Branch, Middle Branch, and South Branch, which feed into the river system. A notable addition in purple revision is the Fordville Dam Normal Pool 1105, illustrating mid-century water management efforts. The map also delineates the boundary between Walsh Co and Grand Forks Co, cutting through township sections like Eden and Inkster. Numerous gravel pits and small industrial sites highlight the local reliance on the area's geological resources.
