2019 Map of Craigville

About this map

Craigville sits at the southern edge of a vast wetland landscape in Northern Minnesota, near where the Big Fork River winds through the southwestern corner of this survey. The terrain is defined by a dense network of marshes and watercourses, including the meandering Reilly Brook and the turbulent Muldoon Rapids along the river's course. Historically, the area's timber-related infrastructure is hinted at by the Deer River Line, which cuts through the northern sections of the map, and the numerous forest roads like Holstrom Forest Rd and N Lofgrin Rd that penetrate the wetlands. The boundary between Koochiching Co and Itasca Co bisects the southern portion of the quadrangle, just south of the main settlement area, providing a clear reference for researchers tracking family property or municipal history in this remote borderland.
