2014 Map of Hickson

About this map

Red River of the North winds along the border of North Dakota and Minnesota, creating a deeply meandered corridor that defines the geography south of Fargo. This agricultural landscape is anchored by small communities and transit links, including the settlement of Hickson and the rural parish area of Saint Benedict. The map reveals a high density of burial grounds relative to its population centers, such as Lower Wild Rice and Red River Cem and North Pleasant Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted family histories of the Red River Valley. The presence of Ellig Field Airport and the complex drainage of the Wild Rice River and Wolverton Cr illustrate how the modern infrastructure of Cass and Clay counties must navigate the ancient, shifting floodplains of this river system.
