About this map

Lake Superior dominates the southern half of this coastal survey, where the rugged shoreline of the North Shore meets the waters of the arrowhead region. The settlement of Knife River sits at the mouth of its namesake waterway, characterized by a network of local roads like London Rd and Old N Shore Rd that trace the historic transportation corridor along the lake. To the northeast lies Larsmont, while the community of Palmers is situated further southwest near the mouth of the Little Sucker River.

Landmarks such as Granite Point, Stony Point, and the offshore Knife Island define the rocky coastal geography. Inland, the terrain is shaped by a series of drainages including the Little Knife River and Big Sucker Cr. Genealogists and local historians can locate Lake View Cem positioned near the lakefront, serving the families who established these lakeside communities. The map also delineates the boundary between St Louis Co and Lake Co, marking a significant administrative division in this North Shore landscape.
