2013 Map of Cohasset West

About this map

Cohasset serves as the primary settlement in this river-and-lake landscape of Itasca County, situated at a junction where Us-2 meets the winding Mississippi River. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes, including the expansive Deer Lake to the north and the hydrologically connected Blackwater Lake and Jay Gould Lake to the south. Local landmarks like Battleship Island, Picnic Island, and Hog Island rise from the water, suggesting a history of seasonal recreation and navigation. This survey demonstrates the modern transportation footprint of the early 21st century, showing how roads like MN-6 and Co HWY-11 segment the wetlands. Smaller water bodies such as Lillian Lake and Warburg Lake are scattered throughout the interior, while Stevens Brook and Blackwater Cr provide natural drainage through the low-lying basin toward the river valley.
