1961 Map of Thief River Falls NW

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Thief River meanders through the heart of this early 1960s landscape, serving as the central geographic feature for the growing city of Thief River Falls. The settlement pattern reflects a strong reliance on transportation corridors, with the Great Northern and Soo Line railroads converging near Dakota Junction. This rail junction is a significant focal point for local history, illustrating the region's importance as a transit hub. The map shows the interplay between the natural river path and the Old Thief River oxbows, alongside rural landmarks like the Steiner Community Hall. Local institutions such as the St Bernard Cem and Northrop Sch provide valuable detail for genealogists tracking family ties in the townships of Excel, Solum, and Norden. Industrial activity is noted by several Gravel Pits dotting the western sections, while the city's modern infrastructure is represented by the Radio Tower (KTRF).
