About this map

The Mississippi River winds through the heart of this northern Minnesota landscape, where the waters of White Oak Lake and Little White Oak Lake meet the river's meandering course. Much of the southern and central terrain is defined by the Chippewa National Forest, creating a mosaic of wetlands and timberland surrounding the city of Deer River and the neighboring village of Zemple.

Evidence of local heritage and public service is seen at the Deer River District Ranger Office and local burial grounds like Olivet Cem and the Richard R Shadley Memorial Cem. To the north, the elevation rises toward Blueberry Hill, featuring the Blueberry Hill Lookout Tower and the Blueberry Hills Golf Course. The map also captures the crossing of Us-2 and MN-46, which link these forest communities to the river landings like Days High Landing.
