2013 Map of Island

About this map

Island and the railway-adjacent Hartley Spur sit near the northeastern corner of this landscape, where the Aitkin and St. Louis county line bisects a terrain of wetlands and slow-moving water. The hydrological network is defined by the winding course of Sixteen Cr and the E Savanna River, which drain toward the south. Amidst the low-lying reaches, Big Island rises as a distinct topographic feature, while Potshot Lake provides a localized landmark for those navigating the backcountry. Rural thoroughfares such as Floodwood Rd and Saint Vincent Rd create a grid of access across the region, supporting the remote timber and transit economy of this section of Northern Minnesota. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the modern road network, including Us-2 and MN-200, as they intersect this quiet stretch of the North Woods.
