2022 Map of Little Swan

About this map

The E Swan River and W Swan River meander through this Saint Louis County landscape, creating a network of wetlands and forested terrain south of Hibbing. This 2022 survey documents the rural character of settlements like Little Swan and Onega, where the local economy is tied to the land and regional aviation at Robertson Field. The presence of the Little Swan Cem near the junction of Meadowlands Trunk Rd and Zim Rd provides a focal point for genealogical research in this sparsely populated area. A grid of county roads, including Co Rd 442 and Co Rd 534, connects the remote homesteads and hunting lands typical of Minnesota's Iron Range periphery, while water bodies such as Barber Cr and Dempsey Cr drain the northern reaches of the quadrangle.
