2013 Map of Johnson Landing NW

About this map

The winding Big Fork River carves a deep, serpentine path through this portion of Koochiching County, joined from the north by the Bear River. This landscape is characterized by its dramatic river bends and the rural infrastructure that supports the surrounding timber and agricultural lands. Central to the local history of the area is Larson Cem, situated just south of CO Hwy-31. The transport network relies on a grid of county and state routes, including MN-6 and the prominent Dentaybow Rd, which provides access to the interior wetlands and woods. This 2013 survey illustrates how the modern road system, such as Us-71, navigates the complex hydrology of northern Minnesota while preserving small, localized landmarks of past generations.
