1959 Map of West Fargo North

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The winding Sheyenne River and its tributaries, including the Maple River and Rush River, define the landscape of this Red River Valley quadrangle. This 1959 topographical record, updated with mid-1970s transportation developments, captures the expansion of West Fargo and Riverside along the Burlington Northern rail lines. Local community landmarks are clearly marked, such as the Town Hall and the Radio Towers (WDAY) east of Jameson. The agricultural character of the surrounding townships, including Berlin and Reed, is punctuated by rural social centers like the Maple-Sheyenne Ch and schools like Harwood Sch. The map preserves the locations of several local burial grounds, including Oak Wood Cem and Lower Maple River Cem, alongside the infrastructure of the era, such as the Gaging Station and various Sewage Disposal facilities serving the growing population centers.
