About this map

The Little Fork River meanders through the heart of this Saint Louis County landscape, providing a natural focal point for the settlement of Cook. The town serves as a local hub, featuring the Cook Municipal Airport and a grid of streets including Vermilion Blvd and N River St. This region is characterized by significant wetlands and a transitioning forest environment, with the Superior National Forest bordering the southeastern corner near Angora.

Genealogists will find value in the distribution of local burial grounds, such as Cook Cem to the north and Alango Cem further south. The map documents a network of rural roads and recreation routes, notably the Arrowhead Snowmobile Trail, which cuts across the northern terrain. Smaller settlements like Leander and the winding course of the Rice River further illustrate the rural character and water-dependent geography of northern Minnesota in the early 21st century.
