About this map

The Mississippi River winds through the heart of this region, creating a complex geography of interconnected waterways and industrial development. In Grand Rapids, the river forms the Paper Mill Reservoir, which historically supported the local paper industry that anchored the town's economy. The landscape is defined by the massive expanse of Pokegama Lake, featuring prominent landmarks like Drumbeater Island and Stony Point.

Residential growth is evident in the adjacent settlements of Cohasset and La Prairie, while the town center of Grand Rapids remains the focal point for regional administration at the Itasca County Courthouse. Local history and aviation heritage are represented by the Grand Rapids/Itasca County Airport-Gordon Newstrom Field and the Blandin Private Cem. This survey illustrates a unique intersection of heavy timber-related industry and recreational lake life, where the wild terrain of islands like Wilder Island sits just minutes from the developed street grids of the county seat.
