1968 Map of Thief Lake SE

About this map

The Palmville and Moose River townships define this northwestern Minnesota landscape as it appeared in the late 1960s, a region where the transition between drainage and conservation is clearly visible. Large portions of the terrain are designated as the Red Lake Indian Reservation and the Thief Lake State Wildlife Management Area, highlighting the area's importance for resource management. The map documents the intricate water network feeding Thief Lake, including the Moose River and the South Fork Roseau R. Local social and civic life is anchored by several Gravel Pits and public sites like the Townhall and Palmville Cem. These features, along with a network of Jeep Trails and the forested Poplar Grove, reveal a landscape managed for both timber and wildlife at the Roseau and Marshall County line.
