2013 Map of Linden Grove

About this map

The Little Fork River meanders through this portion of Saint Louis County, defining a landscape of low-lying wetlands and river bends. The settlement of Linden Grove sits near the intersection of MN-73 and MN-1, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural road network. The river’s path is punctuated by Durant Rapids and Twite Rapids, suggesting the natural obstructions that influenced early water travel and land use in this northern timber region. To the south, the settlement of Sturgeon is situated near the boundary of the Superior National Forest. This 2013 survey illustrates a transition from managed forest land to a grid of township roads and family-named thoroughfares like Buboltz Rd and Roini Rd, which link scattered homesteads and small agricultural clearings. Numerous tributaries, including Flint Cr, Alango Cr, and the Rice River, feed into the primary river system, reflecting the complex hydrology of the Minnesota Arrowhead region.
