About this map

Thief Lake dominates the northern landscape of this Marshall County region, serving as a focal point for the Thief Lake Wildlife Management Area and the Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge. The map reveals a complex hydraulic system managed for conservation, featuring specialized impoundments like Tamarack Pool and Webster Creek Pool. These managed wetlands and pools are connected by the winding Thief River and Webster Creek.

A notable historical landmark is the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which cuts diagonally across the terrain, reflecting the early administrative divisions of the state. Local community life is represented by the Our Savior Ch and various municipal Townhall locations. The landscape of Whiteford is characterized by its transition between open water, marshland, and scattered timber, while industrial activity is limited to a few Gravel Pits in the northwest.
