1967 Map of Thief Lake NE

About this map

Stafford, Grimstad, and Enerson townships define the surveyor's grid in this portion of Roseau County during the late 1960s. The landscape is characterized by a patchwork of wooded areas and open fields, often delineated by the fine red dashed lines of fences and field boundaries captured from 1966 aerial photography. In the northeast corner, the Roseau River meanders through the terrain, while the community of Stafford and its namesake Stafford Ch serve as local landmarks. The presence of Oak Hill Cem and Palmville Ch near the southern boundary, specifically in the vicinity of Poplar Grove, highlights the rural community centers established in this region. This survey also records several locations of a Gravel Pit, indicating the local extraction of glacial materials necessary for road maintenance and regional development in the Red River Valley hinterlands.
