2016 Map of Heikkila Creek

About this map

Heikkila Creek meanders through this portion of Carlton County, defining a landscape shaped by the drainage basins of the Kettle River and the Dead Moose River. The 2016 terrain reflects a rural heritage preserved in small family and community burial grounds, such as the West Branch Cem and Holy Trinity Cem. Local road names like Korpi Rd, Metso Rd, and Manni Rd hint at the Finnish-American settlement history prevalent in this region of Minnesota. The map provides a detailed view of the W Br Kettle River as it traverses the townships of Kalevala and Silver. This modern survey documents the established grid of county and township roads, including Co Hwy 6 and Scenic River Rd, which connect these dispersed rural tracts and their namesake watercourses.
