2011 Map of Hovland

About this map

Hovland occupies a prominent position on the North Shore of Lake Superior, where the Flute Reed River meets the lake's rocky coastline. This 2011 survey illustrates the modern layout of this coastal settlement, defined by the junction of County Hwy 69 and the historic Arrowhead Tr. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the Old Settlers Cemetery along North Rd serves as a critical link to the community's early families and pioneer heritage. The landscape is marked by several watercourses including Carlson Creek and roads with descriptive names like Moose Valley Rd and Whippoorwill Ln, which trace the interior highlands. Public facilities such as the Hovland Rest Area highlight the community's role as a waypoint for travelers navigating this remote stretch of the Minnesota shoreline.
