About this map

Thief Lake dominates the northern landscape of this Marshall County survey, its southern shoreline defined by the winding path of Thief Lake South Dr. The area is characterized by an extensive wetland complex, where the Thief River flows southward through a series of shallow basins including West Olson Lake and East Olson Lake. These water bodies, along with the nearby Webster Lake, form a critical part of the local ecology within the State Wild Life area.

Evidence of local history and rural organization is found at Our Savior's Cem, situated along 240th Ave NE. The township grid system, marked by roads such as Co Hwy 6 and 380th St NE, cuts through the low-lying terrain, illustrating how drainage and transport were managed across this watery expanse. Further south, the Thief Bay Pool and the headwaters of Webster Cr provide a look at the hydrologic network that has long shaped land use in this corner of Minnesota.
