1961 Map of Thief River Falls NE

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Elm Lake and the surrounding marshes of the Wildlife Management Area dominate the northern reaches of this landscape, where the Thief River winds along the western boundary. The terrain reflects the transition from wild wetlands to structured agricultural townships like Agder, Excel, and Silverton. A network of drainage infrastructure, such as County Ditch No 20, illustrates the mid-century effort to reclaim low-lying lands for farming. This 1961 survey provides a snapshot of rural community life before many small institutions consolidated, showing the locations of country schools like Sunnyside Sch and several local congregations. Genealogists will find particular value in the clearly marked Satersdal Cem and the Silverton Ch Cem, preserving the locations of early parish burial grounds within the Marshall and Pennington county lines.
