About this map

Pike River meanders extensively through this northern Minnesota landscape, where rural life is defined by a dense network of township roads and family-named landmarks. The settlement of Wahlsten sits in the north along Wahlsten Rd, while Salo Corner marks a key junction further south where Co Hwy-21 meets Levander Rd. For genealogists, this 2013 survey is particularly valuable for its precise location of multiple burial grounds, including the Vermilion Lake Cem, the Old Vermilion Lake Cem, and the Embarrass Cem near the eastern border.

The southern edge of the map transitions into the Superior National Forest, where the Embarrass River begins to clip the territory. Numerous local roads such as Honkala Rd, Hietala Rd, and Rahkola Rd reflect the heritage of the families who settled this region of St. Louis County. Small water bodies like the Lempia Lakes and Lola Lake dot the terrain, which is characterized by the intricate drainage patterns of the Pike River system.
