2019 Map of Thief River Falls NE

About this map

The Thief River winds through the northwestern corner of this landscape, marking a transition between the established agricultural grid and more marshy, undeveloped terrain to the north. This area, spanning the border of Marshall and Pennington Counties, is defined by a dense network of sectional roads and a scattered collection of rural burial grounds. These sites, including Satersdal Cem and Silver Creek Cem, provide tangible links to the early homesteading families who settled the prairie. The map captures a largely rural character where the rectilinear road system, featuring routes like Co Hwy 2 and Co Rd 64, organizes the landscape into a pattern of large agricultural tracts. The southern portion of the sheet shows a higher concentration of family-named landmarks and community hubs like Silverton Cem and Bethlehem Cem, reflecting the enduring settlement patterns of north-central Minnesota.
