2013 Map of Craigville

About this map

Craigville sits at a geographic transition where the Big Fork River winds through the northern Minnesota wilderness. This 2013 survey documents a landscape defined by its waterways and timber-access routes, capturing the rugged character of the Koochiching Co Itasca Co border. Notable hydrologic features like Little American Falls and Muldoon Rapids mark the descent of the Big Fork River, while the meandering Reilly Brook and the secluded Round Lake punctuate the surrounding wetlands. The map details a network of specialized roads and trails, including the Deer River Line and Holstrum Spur Trl, which speak to the area's history of forest management and early 20th-century transportation. These paths, alongside Co Hwy-5, provide the primary framework for navigating this sparsely populated region near the southern reaches of the county.
