2013 Map of Effie SE

About this map

The Fredheim Norwegian Church Cem serves as a central landmark for this northern Minnesota landscape, reflecting the Scandinavian heritage that shaped the region's rural character. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Big Fork River, which moves through the area past several white-water stretches including Muldoon Rapids and Rice Rapids. To the north, the Harrington Hills rise above a series of smaller water bodies such as Grass Lake and Busties Lake. This 2013 survey illustrates a sparsely populated wilderness where transportation is limited to secondary roads like MN-1 and local tracks like Priem Rd and Conners Lake Rd, which connect the river valley to the surrounding forests and creek systems like Coon Creek and Swine Cr.
