About this map

Chippewa National Forest dominates this section of Itasca County, defined by a complex network of wetlands and small watercourses. The landscape is characterized by the meandering path of the Deer River as it flows through the southeastern corner, and the broad expanse of Rice Lake. This 2019 survey shows a region where human activity is largely confined to a grid of county roads and forest routes that navigate the marshy terrain.

Genealogical interest is centered on Pine Ridge Cem, located near the junction of Co Rd 19 and Thompson Rd. The map documents a sparsely populated area where named roads like Karstens Rd, Swamp Rd, and Rosewood Rd provide access to remote timberlands and lakefronts. Small tributaries, including Grouse Cr and Evans Cr, further illustrate the intricate drainage patterns of this protected northern Minnesota wilderness.
