2020 Map of Hickson

About this map

The Red River of the North winds in sharp, serpentine loops through this Red River Valley landscape, forming the natural border between North Dakota and Minnesota. This region, south of Fargo, is defined by its deep agricultural roots and a cluster of small communities established along the river and the North-South highway corridors. The settlement of Saint Benedict stands in the west near the Wild Rice River, anchored by the Saint Benedict Cem. To the east, the meandering riverfront is dotted with local landmarks and burial grounds, including the Lower Wild Rice and Red River Cem and Hoff Cem. Further south, the community of Oxbow sits within a prominent river bend adjacent to Hickson. The landscape is a study in precision-gridded section lines, where county roads like Co RD 14 and Co HWY 2 connect these quiet rural centers.
