1963 Map of Perley

About this map

The serpentine Red River creates a meandering border between Minnesota and North Dakota, dominating the center of this 1963 survey. The settlement of Perley stands as the primary hub along the Great Northern railroad line, surrounded by the townships of Lee, Hendrum, and Noble. This region of the Red River Valley is defined by its sophisticated drainage network, including County Ditch No 13 and County Ditch No 49, which support the flat agricultural lands of Norman Co. To the south, the Wild Rice River joins the landscape near Kirkebo Cem. Local landmarks such as the Dew Drop In Airport and Nora Ch provide specific points of interest for those researching the social and transit history of this borderland prairie during the early 1960s.
