About this map

Gheen and its nearby neighbor Gheen Corner sit at a significant crossroads in northern St. Louis County, where the transition from agricultural land to dense woodland is starkly mapped. The area is defined by the slow-moving waters of the Willow River and Beaver Cr, which meander through extensive wetlands and the southern fringes of the Superior National Forest. To the north, the Elbow River creates a natural corridor featuring Elbow Rapids near Rice Lake.

A notable inclusion is the Farm Service Agency Interest of Minnesota, indicating modern land management and conservation interests in this rural landscape. For genealogists, the Willow Valley Cem on Chisholm Rd provides a specific point of interest in this sparsely populated region. The map details a network of rural routes such as St Louis Co Hwy 74 and Carpenter Rd that connect isolated homesteads to the village center.
