2019 Map of Denham

About this map

Denham and Rutledge anchor this portion of Pine County, situated along a landscape defined by the remnants of the rail era and a dense network of wetlands. The presence of Soo Line Rd tracing the former corridor of the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad reflects the historical transport spine that once fueled these small timber and farming communities. In the southern reach, the Pine River meanders toward the settlement of Rutledge, passing near the Lakeview Cem and several water bodies including Cemetery Lake and Mud Lake. Local family and industrial history is evident in names like Old Creamery Rd and Faith Church Rd, while the northern portion is dominated by the drainage of Birch Creek and Birch Cr.
