2016 Map of Ericsburg

About this map

Ericsburg serves as the primary focal point of this northern Minnesota landscape, where the Rat Root River meanders through a complex network of wetlands and low-lying terrain. The settlement is positioned along the Arrowhead Trl, a route that connects the small community to the surrounding wilderness. To the north, the Ericsburg Cem provides a point of genealogical interest, situated near the river's path as it flows toward Rat Root Lake. The river system is further defined by the E Br Rat Root River, which drains the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The map detail reflects a remote, water-dominated environment in Koochiching County, where transportation is limited to a few established corridors like Co Rd 98 and Co Rd 145, illustrating the enduring isolation and rugged character of the region in the early 21st century.
