1966 Map of Grand Forks

About this map

Grand Forks and East Grand Forks anchor this mid-century portrait of the Red River Valley, where the state boundary follows the winding course of the Red River of the North. The landscape is defined by its agricultural geometry and a dense network of drainage features like Judicial Ditch No 64, supporting the fertile plains between the Great Northern Railway and Northern Pacific Railway lines. Conservation areas such as the Kellys Slough National Wildlife Refuge and Little Goose National Wildlife Refuge break the industrial farm grid.
