1964 Map of Glyndon North

About this map

The Buffalo River meanders across the southern landscape of this mid-1960s survey, providing a sharp contrast to the rigid, geometric grid of the surrounding agricultural townships. This area of Clay County is defined by its sophisticated water management system, illustrated by an extensive network of drainage channels such as County Ditch No 39 and County Ditch No 25, which enabled the cultivation of the fertile Red River Valley. The Great Northern railroad cuts a straight diagonal line through the townships of Morken and Spring Prairie, serving the grain-handling needs of rural hubs like Averill. Near the settlement of Glyndon, the Riverside Cem sits along the riverbanks, offering a point of interest for genealogists. The map also identifies local civic structures, including a Townhall situated at a crossroads in the eastern section.
