2013 Map of Halstad

About this map

The Wild Rice River winds in tight, dramatic oxbows along the border between Minnesota and North Dakota, defining the western edge of the town of Halstad. This 2013 survey of the Red River Valley highlights the agricultural grid of Norman and Traill Counties, where local infrastructure is centered around the settlements of Halstad and Hendrum. The landscape is dotted with several small cemeteries that serve the local rural community, including N Cem, S Cem, and Riverside Cem. Significant local landmarks like Christianson Field Airport and the Pontoppidan Lutheran Cem reflect the area's social and logistical network. The convergence of the Elm River and the meandering border waterways emphasizes the flat, flood-prone geography characteristic of this fertile farming region during the early 21st century.
