2019 Map of Iverson

About this map

Cloquet and the smaller settlement of Iverson anchor this survey of the northern Minnesota wetlands and forests near the turn of the twenty-first century. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of water, from the winding path of the Moose Horn River in the south to the broad waters of Wild Rice Lake and Big Lake. Local community life is centered around landmarks like the Big Lake Chapel and the Cloquet Carlton County Airport, while the northern portion of the quadrangle is crisscrossed by namesake rural routes such as Lund Rd, Jarvi Rd, and Danielson Rd, reflecting the regional homesteading and logging heritage. Significant tributaries like Otter Cr and Little Otter Cr drain through the lowlands, creating a complex hydrology that has historically dictated the placement of roads and small-scale infrastructure across Carlton County.
