2019 Map of Birchdale

About this map

The Rainy River marks the international boundary between Koochiching County, Minnesota, and Ontario, Canada, in this northern borderland survey. Along the southern bank, the settlement of Birchdale serves as a primary point of reference for researchers tracing regional family history and land use. The river itself is characterized by the Long Sault Rapids, a notable hydrologic feature in a landscape dominated by the confluence of northern tributaries like Cameron Cr and Sturgeon Cr. Local road networks, including Co HWY 4 and Town RD 117, connect the scattered riverfront developments to the Birchdale Cem. The map provides a clear view of the township and range divisions, such as t160n r27w, which are essential for identifying historical homesteads and timber tracts in the early twenty-first century.
