1967 Map of Thief Lake NW

About this map

Stokes and Nereson townships characterize this section of Roseau County, where the landscape is defined by a complex mosaic of wetlands and prairie clearings. The map reveals a rural community structured around local landmarks like Nannestad Ch, which sits adjacent to a Cem, and Faith Ch further south. This 1960s survey documents a transitional environment near the Poplar Grove and Stafford boundaries, showing the section-line roads and field boundaries that dictate the local geography. The interplay of forested pockets and marshy lowlands suggests a region primarily focused on low-intensity agriculture and wilderness management during the mid-20th century.
