2013 Map of Deer River NE

About this map

The Chippewa National Forest encompasses a vast portion of this Itasca County landscape, where the Bowstring River flows through the northern reaches and the Deer River winds across the south. This 2013 topographic study reveals a terrain defined by its water and forestry, anchored by features like Rice Lake and the drainage of Grouse Cr. Cultural markers are sparse but significant for local history, notably the Pine Ridge Cem located near the junction of MN-6 and Co Hwy-19. A network of rural and forest routes, such as Baumgarner Rd and Forest Rd 2039, provide access through the wooded tracts, illustrating the modern management of these timberlands and the quiet, dispersed nature of habitation in this part of northern Minnesota.
