1959 Map of Thief River Falls

About this map

Thief River Falls serves as the regional hub at the confluence of the Red Lake River and its northern tributaries. This late 1950s survey captures the city during a period of mid-century development, marked by the presence of the Thief River Falls Airport to the south and a growing municipal infrastructure including a Sewage Disposal plant and Waterworks. The urban center is densely detailed with public institutions like Lincoln High Sch and St Bernard Sch, while the outlying areas of North and Rocksbury townships maintain their agricultural character.
