About this map

Grand Rapids serves as the focal point of this northern Minnesota landscape, situated where the Mississippi River is regulated by the Blandin Dam. The area's industrial and recreational character is defined by the expansive waters of Pokegama Lake, which features numerous named points and islands including Nesbitt Island and Wendigo Island. To the east of the river, the town's civic infrastructure is visible through the Itasca County Fairgrounds, the Grand Rapids Speedway, and the Grand Rapids-Itasca County/Gordon Newstrom Field.

Genealogical and local history interest is found in specific landmarks like the Blandin Private Cemetery and the site of the Tioga Mine near Cavanaugh Lake. The map details the residential transition from the city center to outlying areas like Lakeview Terrace and the North Star Moblie Home Park, alongside seasonal recreational sites such as the Birch Cove Resort and Campground on the shores of Pokegama.
