2022 Map of Cohasset West

About this map

The Mississippi River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, feeding into Blackwater Lake and passing the Minnesota Power facility near Cohasset. This area of Itasca County is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and connected waterways, where larger bodies like Bass Lake and Deer Lake are punctuated by distinctive landforms such as Battleship Island and Crawford Island. The map reveals a complex system of local transit, including N Portage Trl and various county roads that provide access to points like Echo Bay and Fishhouse Bay. In the southwest, smaller basins such as Little White Oak Lake and Little Drum Lake are interspersed with wetland areas, illustrating the hydrologic character of the Upper Mississippi basin. The presence of the Mississippi River Trl near Jay Gould Lake highlights the modern recreational and historical utility of these ancient water routes.
