About this map

Effie and Bigfork anchor this northern Minnesota landscape in Itasca County, where the Big Fork River winds through a terrain heavily defined by wetlands and small tributaries. Near the northeastern corner, North Star Cem serves as a significant landmark for those tracing local family histories. The region is interlaced with a network of local routes like Siro Rd and Co Hwy 14, reflecting the rural infrastructure that supports these small communities.

The hydrological character of the area is prominent, with Bowerman Brook and Plum Cr draining into the larger river system. Connors Lake sits just north of Bigfork, which also features the Bigfork Municipal Airport. This map illustrates the intersection of wilderness and the grid system, showing the township and range boundaries of t62n r26w and t61n r26w that organize the vast wooded and marshy tracts.
