About this map

The Red River of the North defines the winding border between North Dakota and Minnesota, anchoring this study of the fertile Red River Valley. The settlement of Halstad sits at the junction of the river and highway corridors, supported by an agricultural landscape crisscrossed by rural avenues and streets. Further south, Hendrum marks another primary node of activity near the confluence with the Wild Rice River.

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its density of burial grounds, including the Saint Pauli Cem, Pontoppidan Lutheran Cem, and the Riverside Cem near the southern edge. The terrain is notably flat, typical of this former glacial lake bed, with the Elm River and Grandin Lake providing the primary topographic relief against the expansive grid of sections and ranges. Smaller landmarks like Christianson Field and W Little Chicago Rd offer specific local context to this modern survey of Norman County.
