2019 Map of Bear River

About this map

Bear River and Celina sit along the border of Itasca and St. Louis counties, serving as small community hubs in a landscape defined by northern forests and meandering waterways. The Sturgeon River flows across the northern section, while the southern reaches are marked by the presence of the Superior National Forest. This 2019 survey documents the rural road network connecting isolated farmsteads and timberlands via routes like Co Hwy 5 and the St Louis Itasca Judicial Rd. Local history is anchored at Carpenter Cem near the northern edge and Morcom Cem to the south, while Anderson Airport provides a modern utility point in the center of the quadrangle. Small tributaries like Stony Brook and Bear River Cr feed into the regional drainage, reflecting the wet, marshy character typical of this part of Minnesota.
