2010 Map of Island

About this map

Island and Hartley Spur sit at the intersection of rail and road networks in this corner of Saint Louis County during the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of the East Savanna River and Sixteen Creek, which weave through a predominantly rural and open terrain. Evidence of local settlement and land use is found along established routes like Floodwood Rd and Saint Vincent Rd, which connect the small clusters of activity at Big Island. This 2010 survey reflects a period where the primary infrastructure consists of these named county roads and the rail line passing through the northeastern corner. Smaller water bodies like Potshot Lake provide focal points within the topographic relief, while named local paths such as Laurie Rd and Robinson Rd offer specific identifiers for genealogists and local historians tracking property boundaries and rural residency in this portion of the Minnesota Northwoods.
