1963 Map of Gardar

About this map

Gardar serves as the primary settlement in this early 1960s study of the Red River Valley upland, where the township boundaries of Gardar, Crystal, Lampton, and Dundee meet. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of the North Branch Park River and the Middle Branch Park River, which carve distinct drainage patterns across the prairie. The map provides specific locations for local heritage sites, including the Stokesville Cem and the Hvidsten Ch Cem, alongside numerous Gravel Pits that suggest the area's geological and industrial utility during this era. A significant administrative line, the Pembina Co Walsh Co boundary, bisects the lower half of the quadrangle, marking the transition between these two northeastern North Dakota jurisdictions.
