About this map

The headwaters of the Mississippi River flow through the heart of this Northwoods landscape, cutting a path through Clearwater and Hubbard Counties. The small settlement of Vern sits along Co Hwy 37, while the surrounding terrain is defined by a deep chain of water bodies including Big LaSalle Lake, Middle LaSalle Lake, and the northern reaches of Lake Itasca. This geography creates a complex network of wetlands and seasonal streams like Sucker Cr and Hennepin Cr, which have historically dictated the placement of local roads and trails.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial sites within these timberlands, including Wethern Cem, Sell Lake Cem, and the Old Sell Lake Cem. The presence of the Mississippi River Trl and various recreation paths like Campground Trl and Challenge Trl highlight the area's modern identity as a destination for outdoor enthusiasts, even as it preserves the quiet markers of its earlier pioneer residents.
