2011 Map of Biwabik NE

About this map

Pike River winds extensively through the landscape of northeastern Minnesota, anchoring a rural topography characterized by small settlements and historic burial grounds. The small community of Wahlsten sits in the north, while the intersection at Salo Corner marks a point of transit further south. These pockets of settlement are connected by a network of family-named roads like Nietala Rd and Lehto Rd, reflecting the Finnish heritage of Saint Louis County’s Iron Range region. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of three distinct burial sites: Vermilion Lake Cemetery, the Old Vermilion Lake Cemetery, and Embarrass Cemetery. The map also details the wetlands and water bodies of the Arrowhead region, including the Embarrass River, Lola Lake, and Lempia Lakes, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have long dictated the placement of roads and homesteads.
