2022 Map of Ericsburg

About this map

The Rat Root River meanders across this Koochiching County landscape, defining a wetland-rich geography north of the Canadian border region. The small settlement of Ericsburg serves as the primary hub of activity, situated near the intersection of several local routes including Co RD 98 and Co RD 142. Just north of the town site, the Ericsburg Cem provides a focal point for genealogical research. The map illustrates a transition from the structured grid of rural roads to the protected wilderness of the David Dill-Arrowhead State Trl, which cuts diagonally across the township lines. Water dominates the eastern portion of the quadrangle, where Rat Root Lake and the East Branch Rat Root River create a complex network of marshes and waterways typical of northern Minnesota's low-lying terrain.
