2019 Map of Iron Hub

About this map

The Mississippi River winds through the heart of this landscape along the border of Crow Wing and Aitkin Counties, defining the drainage patterns for numerous surrounding wetlands and lakes. In the northern reaches, Nelson Lake and Sullivan Lake sit among a network of rural roads like Spruce Grove Rd and Sullivan Lake Rd. The settlement of Pine Knoll is situated in the east, while the small community of Iron Hub anchors the southwestern corner. This area is notably dense with small rural burial grounds, providing significant genealogical value for those researching the early families of the region. Sites include the Cedarbrook - Saint John's Lutheran Cem, Immanuel Cem, Carroll Cem, and Pine Knoll Cem. To the south, the terrain transitions into more lake-dominated geography near Cedar Lake, which contains the distinct Grape Island.
