2019 Map of Heikkila Creek

About this map

The Kettle River and its various tributaries define this northern landscape in Carlton County. Flowing through the southern half of the quadrangle, the river is joined by the W Br Kettle River and the Dead Moose River, creating a complex network of waterways that likely supported early logging and transport. The grid of rural roads, including Pallo Rd and Manni Rd, connects isolated farmsteads and family settlements. For genealogists, the map is a significant resource, identifying specific local burial sites such as West Branch Cem, the Co-op Cem, and Holy Trinity Cem. These features, along with names like Stenberg Rd and Korpi Rd, reflect the cultural heritage and familial ties that shaped this part of Minnesota. The terrain is characterized by numerous small creeks and drainages, including Heikkila Cr and Silver Cr, which wind through the township boundaries.
