About this map

The Sheyenne River and Maple River converge in this fertile Red River Valley landscape, shaping the development of West Fargo and its surrounding communities. By the mid-2010s, the transition from agricultural sections to urban infrastructure is evident in the sprawling grid connecting Riverside and the outskirts of Fargo. Significant local landmarks include the Jacob Gust Airport and the West Fargo Municipal Airport, highlighting the region's importance as a transportation hub.

Genealogists and local historians can locate early burial grounds such as Oak Wood Cemetery near Harwood and the Lower Maple River Cemetery to the west. The presence of the Sheyenne Diversion Road reflects the critical water management systems required for this flood-prone region. Small rail-side and rural settlements like Pinkham and Fife anchor the southern and western portions of the survey, preserving the names of the area's older township foundations.
