1963 Map of Halstad

About this map

The Red River of the North winds in sharp oxbows through this fertile valley, defining the boundary between Norman and Traill counties. During the early 1960s, the rural landscape around Halstad and Hendrum remained heavily oriented toward the river and the Great Northern rail line. The map illustrates a dense network of local cemeteries and parish life, including Pontoppidan Ch and the St Pauls Cem. Notable water features like Grandin L and the Wild Rice River intersect with man-made infrastructure, such as the Old Railroad Grade and a Radio Tower. These details provide a clear picture of the mid-century agricultural and civic layout, showing the precise location of riverside gaging stations and town parks like Riverside Park.
