1952 Map of Thief River Falls

About this map

Thief River Falls and the surrounding Red River Valley are depicted here as they appeared following the mid-century, detailing a landscape defined by its international border and extensive wetland conservation. The map highlights the complex hydrologic network of the Red River of the North, including the Tamarac River, Snake River, and the Pembina River as it flows from the Pembina Mountains. This region is a critical corridor for transport and wildlife preservation, evidenced by the numerous state game refuges and the expansive Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge.
