This map was the center spread in many of the 1980s-era Howard Binford's Guides. Stylishly 1970s, it artfully shows Fargo and Moorhead's extent at that time. I have vivid memories from my childhood of being given a copy of the Guide to occupy myself while waiting for food in restaurants and examining this map in great detail.
Background
The map premiered in the April issue of Howard Binford's Guide. Binford explains the map's origin:
[D]esigned by David Hetland (our cover profile subject in the October 1984 issue) and executed by Gary Baune of the Hetland Ltd. staff -- for exclusive use in The Guide and by the Fargo-Moorhead Convention and Visitors Bureau.
The notes also indicate that the map was being "considered" for printing at poster-size; interested parties were to contact Binford or the FM Convention & Visitors Bureau.
