About this map

The confluence of the Thief River and the Red River anchors this 1943 military survey, which documents the rail-driven growth of Pennington County. The primary hub of Thief River Falls is shown with its grid and industrial orientation, supported by a dense network of lines including the Great Northern, Northern Pacific, and the Minneapolis St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie railroads.

Surrounding townships like Rocksbury, Smiley, and Silverton reveal a landscape defined by an extensive system of drainage ditches, essential for the local agriculture. Smaller settlements and sidings such as Anita, Steiner, and Thorwick appear alongside numerous rural schools and community landmarks like Cem. Church and Church Cem.. This map serves as a record of the region's transport infrastructure during the Second World War, including the Northwestern Electric line reaching into the township of Silverton.
