2011 Map of Cook

About this map

The Little Fork River and Rice River converge in this northern Minnesota landscape, anchoring the settlement of Cook. This early 21st-century survey reveals a transition from the structured town grid surrounding the Cook Post Office to the winding waterways and rural road networks of the surrounding Iron Range country. Small communities like Leander, Shermans Corner, and Angora dot the highway corridors, while the presence of several burial grounds, including Little Fork Cemetery, Alango Cemetery, and Hillside Cemetery, provides significant data points for local genealogists. The map also documents regional infrastructure, from the Cook Municipal Airport to local landmarks like Vermilion Fairways and the Vermilion Motel and RV Park, reflecting the intersection of local industry and northern tourism.
