2010 Map of Thief River Falls NW

About this map

The meandering Thief River dominates this portion of Pennington County, winding through a landscape organized by a rigorous grid of section lines and county roads. In the early 21st century, the area north of the city center is defined by rural community landmarks and transit intersections. Local heritage is grounded at the Saint Bernard Cemetery near the river's bend and the Steiner Community Hall further north. The map records the infrastructure of the region, including the rail-road intersection at Dakota Junction and the path of Dewey Ave N as it extends toward the rural outskirts. This geography illustrates the persistent agricultural and community patterns of northwestern Minnesota, where township roads like 250th St NE and County Hwy-2 provide the primary framework for movement between isolated homesteads and community hubs.
