In a 1978 picture, Moorhead and Fargo spread along the east and west banks of the Red River. Railroad-era industrial satellite communities at Dilworth, Minnesota (foreground), and West Fargo, North Dakota (top center), have become parts of the suburban fringe. Heavily wooded banks of the meandering Red River mark the Minnesota-North Dakota boundary, from left to right (south to north) through the urbanized area. Warehouse-industry districts, formerly confined to the east-west rail corridor, sprawl into the grain fields, especially along the western freeway bypass. Aerial photo by K.
