About this map

The Red River of the North winds through the heart of this urban landscape, serving as the border between Grand Forks, North Dakota, and East Grand Forks, Minnesota. The map documents the extensive footprint of the University of North Dakota on the western side of the river, alongside the rail-adjacent industrial character of Calspur. Local infrastructure is prominent, including the East Grand Forks Post Office and the J J and T Airport to the north.

Water management and recreation are central to the riverfront, marked by the Grand Forks Riverside Dam and Riverside Dam, as well as the Valley Golf Course. The survey also provides clear locations for genealogical research, such as Calvary Cemetery, Memorial Park Cemetery, and Sunset Memorial Gardens on the southern edge of the city. To the southeast, the terrain transitions toward the Altamont Moraine, illustrating the glacial history that shaped this section of the Red River Valley.
