2013 Map of Bear River

About this map

The border of Itasca and St. Louis counties defines the central axis of this landscape, where the northern Minnesota woodlands transition toward the Superior National Forest. This 2013 survey records the small settlements of Bear River and Celina, connected by the corridor of MN-1 and Co HWY-5. The region is defined by a dense network of waterways, including the winding Sturgeon River and Bear River, which are fed by smaller tributaries like Stony Brook and Bear River Creek. Local history and genealogy are preserved in the locations of the Carpenter Cem and Morcom Cem, while the Anderson Airport provides a modern aviation landmark in an area otherwise characterized by rural township roads and forestry tracts.
